Helping Hands Need Help


Volunteers Needed
(From the Women's Club Newsletter)
Last year, Port Tampa City’s “Helping Hands” made Christmas possible for approximately thirty families in our small community.
Westshore Elementary School
provided names of families who needed the help and support of Special Santas. People and businesses donated time, money and food to make this possible.

I know we all want to awaken on Christmas morning this year knowing that we have again shared our prosperity with those who are less fortunate. “Helping Hands”
will be reaching out again to give hope and to make Christmas possible for those in need. Volunteers are needed to take people shopping. Donations
of food and money are also needed. For a family
of two adults and two children, about $250.00 is needed
to supply gifts and food.

“Helping Hands” seeks your support in one of the following
ways:
Santa’s Helper Volunteer to collect and deliver items or to take people shopping.
Special Santa Financial Sponsorship of one family($250.00).
Santa’s Angel Donation of items or money.
Please contact Cookie Robinson at 390-9766 if you are able to assist “Helping Hands” in any way.

Cookie Robinson started "Helping Hands" and the Port Tampa City Women's Club has officially adopted the effort as one of its many community service projects. More on the club, which is open to men as well as women, in later posts.
