Caroling Fun

We helped spread a little Christmas cheer yesterday at Jackson Creek Villages in Independence. The residents were so delighted to hear the kids and see their smiling faces. It was a great! Check back for more pictures!

 



 





Helping Hands 2013

We are missing a few members and a couple of our fearless leaders, but here we are... Helping Hands 2013!

Christmas Caroling at Jackson Creek Senior Living

Please bring your family and join us on Sunday, December 1st at 2:00 at the Jackson Creek Villages of Independence. We will carol through the halls on the skilled nursing side and then move to the assisted living side and do the same. Please bring treats to share with our group and the residents following our singing debut! To sign up, please click on the link to the right and visit VolunteerSpot! Looking forward to enjoying another service opporunity with you!

Breast Cancer Awareness Drive

Thank you for all of your support for our drive to support Breast Cancer Awareness. The members of Helping Hands, along with their families, selflessly put forth their own time to create approximately 375 Loom Bracelets and the PB community stepped forward in their support. In addition to the sales, we had several cash donations and staff members also donated and showed support by wearing jeans for a week. It is with great honor to say that we have collected over $500 in support of cancer research. I can't give an exact count as the money continues to accumulate! The left over bracelets will be sold as well. Thank you for making our first service project such a success!

Special Olympics

We had a great morning supporting some very special athletes Saturday morning. Thank you Blue Springs High School for giving us the opportunity and to all of the volunteers! It was a fantastic morning!

 

Monster Bash... postponed

Due to the weather forecast for Wednesday evening, the Monster Bash and Trunk or Treat has been postponed. I will be sure to alert you when a family fun run has been rescheduled.

There are so many ways we can help...

Kid President has some excellent points of how we can all take a minute to help others. There is lots to be done, but together we can make a difference.
