HOLLY JOLLY CHRISTMAS SHOPPE SETS RECORD
The Ninth Annual Helping Hands Food Pantry’s Holly Jolly Shoppe, was a HUGE success! All proceeds of the sale ($3500) fund our pantry for another year! This means that we can continue the work of helping families with food, but also provide special “extras” at certain times of the year — for November, in addition to the regular food, we were able to provide a turkey and mashed potatoes,stuffing mix, gravy and cooking bag, to 25 families (90 people).
Thank you to everyone who donated items, refurbished holiday decorations, bought treasures, moved totes up and down stairs and took items to Goodwill. If you helped in any way, it is much appreciated!
Now collecting for 2025 – This will be the 10 year anniversary of Holly Jolly Shoppe
