Good morning community, Helping Hands would like to give an update on a couple fundraisers we've had in 2021.![]()
![]()
First was the "Simply Give" promotion through Meijer in Charlotte. The results are in and we raised $19,210 to be used for 2022. The money purchases food through Meijer to fill in our pantry staples. Milk, eggs, ketchup, sugar, and flour usually comes from Meijer. Now there will be a campaign this year that will raise funds to be used for the next season, we are unsure of the details at this time. ![]()

Secondly, Culver's had "Concretes For A Cause." For each concrete that was sold, $1 came to Helping Hands. That fundraiser raised $409. So thank you for eating frozen custard on our behalf. ![]()
