Volunteers Needed for Helping Hands food program, August 19 and/or 20
What better way to start the second year of Helping Hands than by giving an hour or two of your time to the Outreach Commintee's food distribution project! This distribution will feature our third cooking class for the children of our 10 families so we would appreciate a few extra helping hands. The class will be held at the chapel, conducted by the WVU Extension office of Berkeley Co from 4:30 pm on Thurs., August 20.
In July of 2025, we started our monthly food bank project, Helping Hands, for 10 families (over 60 people) who received our holiday food baskets last Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Since we are not asking for regular food contributions, you may be wondering how you can help with this project. An hour or two of your time would be a great help in connection with one of our food distribution days. Just this little bit of your time will boost your spirits while helping us to assist families in need by sharing our blessings. If you would like to volunteer or have your questions answered, please call me at 304-754-5806 (landline; texts not possible). Thanks for considering how you can help.
Judy Snyder and the Outreach Committee: Jo Ann Abell, Chris Cubby, Sheila Joy, Natasha Martien, Krista O’Brien (Vice Chair), Laura Powell, Gayle Remenick, Katherine Zborai.
