Helping Hands 18th Annual Thanksgiving Event

This holiday season Helping Hands, a community service organization, based in Vista, California will be hosting its 18th annual Thanksgiving community outreach event.  The target and efforts of this program are to serve the homeless and underprivileged populations in North San Diego County.  Many families in our area have experienced financial strain in the recent times and could use some community support in making their holiday season special. Helping Hands aims to provide a warm holiday meal, clothing, blankets, haircuts, and backpacks filled with hygiene items. Transportation is also provided, however it is limited.

Date: Thursday 11/24/2011

Time: Registration begins at 10:30 am. Meal will be served at 12 noon.

Location: 1132 N. Melrose Ave., Vista, CA 92083

We are asking for contributions from the community at-large to help offset the cost of these items.  Non-perishable food, hygiene items, blankets and backpacks would be greatly appreciated.  Monetary contributions are also an effective way to support the event.  Helping Hands is a 501C (3) IRS tax-exempt not-for-profit organization; all charitable donations are tax deductible. You can also help by volunteering your time the day-of the event to drive, set-up, serve, and/or clean up.
