Helping Hands

Our fearless Leader, Edna Nasby, is still on the mend but Helping Hands is continuing to help those in need in Beckley and Raleigh County. With the weather in March so unpredictable, winter is not over yet but spring is just around the corner.

We are extremely grateful for your donations but are always in need of non-perishable food items as well as toilet paper, bar soap and blankets. These items seem to go out as fast as they come in. Your donations can be either taken over to Helping Hands Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 until noon or left in the cart outside the church office. Your prayers are also appreciated.

Our Helping Hands Resource Center continues to reach out to the community with non-perishable food, clothing, blankets and coats. . Your prayers, donations of food, blankets and coats is greatly appreciated but as the weather continues to be cold, the need still continues especially for blankets and coats.

We are also in desperate need of volunteers. If you could spare three hours in the morning Tuesday through Friday, please just come and you will be blessed.

Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we serve the people of Beckley and Raleigh County in Jesus’ name.

Helping Hands is continuing to help those less fortunate with food and clothing. The Lord has blessed us with a monthly truck from the Mountaineer Food Bank that we purchase food at a discounted rate. Our numbers continue to grow weekly and now that the weather has turned cold the need for coats and blankets is growing as well. WE NEED BLANKETS AND COATS, AND LOTS OF THEM. They can either be new or “slightly” used. We also are always in need of soap, toilet paper and non-perishable food.

Our Helping Hands Resource Center continues to reach out to the community with non-perishable food, clothing, blankets and coats. God has truly blessed this ministry because we had two 20-foot U-Haul trucks of food from the Mountaineer Food Bank in November full of food that will be distributed to our clients. Your prayers, donations of food, blankets and coats is greatly appreciated but as the weather turns colder the need still continues especially for blankets.

We also have a day in December where we distribute toys to our clients’ children. This is a special day that we all look forward to and take joy in seeing that their children will receive at least one new toy for their Christmas.

Thanks again for all your prayers and support and keep it coming.

Helping Hands is continuing to help those less fortunate with food and clothing. The Lord has blessed us with a monthly truck from the Mountaineer Food Bank that we purchase food at a discounted rate. We had so much food for November we had to get another truck – what a true blessing. Our numbers continue to grow weekly and now that the weather is turning colder the need for coats and blankets is growing as well. WE NEED BLANKETS AND COATS AND LOTS OF THEM. They can either be new or “slightly” used. We also are always in need of soap, toilet paper and non-perishable food.

Helping Hands is continuing to help the people of Beckley and Raleigh County and your support and prayers have gone a long way in helping us do this. As summer draws to a close and the weather starts to turn cooler, we need blankets and lots of them.

In one week in September we served over 200 families with food and clothing and this is where you can help. We need non-perishable food and meat. Our food shelves and freezers are almost bare which means we have to go to the grocery store or the food bank and buy food and with the rising cost of food, as you well know, this uses money that might otherwise be used for other purposes. Your prayers are appreciated as we continue to lend a helping hand to those in need.

Helping Hands has initiated a new project and here’s how you can help. When you go to your favorite hairdresser, barber, bank and any other local business, ask them if you can place a collection box in their business to collect non-perishable canned goods. If they agree, contact Edna Nasby at Helping Hands and she will see that one gets delivered. They are also in need of toilet paper, bar soap, blankets and non-perishable food. With fall coming upon us, that means winter is not too far away so winter clothing and blankets are always needed and greatly appreciate. They continue to serve well over 600 families a month and that need is steadily growing. Please keep this ministry in your prayers as they strive to help those less fortunate in Raleigh County.

As summer rolls along, so does our steady stream of clients seek help with food and clothing. We distribute non-perishable food and clothing to all eligible clients on a monthly basis depending on the size of their family. WE ARE ALSO IN NEED OF BLANKETS!!!

We are currently still looking for volunteers to work on Thursday and Friday mornings. It’s only three hours and you will be blessed. You can also provide financial support for Helping Hands through the Kroger Rewards Program. Just click on Rewards on your Kroger account and click down to Community Rewards and then select Helping Hands Community Resource Center. A portion of your purchase will go directly to us without costing you a dime! What a better way to support them. We are open Tuesday through Friday from 9AM to noon. We take donations during those times or they can be left in the large black container outside the church office.

Thank you for your generous support and please continue to keep us in your prayers as we reach out to help those less fortunate.

Helping Hands continues its mission to help those less fortunate in the Beckley/Raleigh County area and your support has been greatly appreciated. They are still in need of non-perishable food items, toilet paper, bar soap and summer clothing. There is also a great need for volunteers to work one day a week Tuesday through Friday.

As the cold weather gives way to spring, so does our clothes closet here at Helping Hands. The winter clothing is packed away and the spring and summer items are brought out. These clothing items, along with non-perishable food, are what our clients receive when they come in once a month. Through your donations, along with donations from local grocery stores, is what enables this ministry to help those in need in the Beckley and Raleigh County area.

The blankets and coats you donated during the winter were much needed and appreciated. Your generosity and those of some community groups helped us keep people warm this winter and for this we give you much thanks.

We are always in need of volunteers to donate their time. We are open Tuesday through Friday from 9AM until noon. It’s only three hours one morning a week and you will be blessed. See Edna Nasby and let her know what day would be best for you.
