Help Our Seniors Stay Warm
Utility bills, especially natural gas bills are devastating our local seniors. Many are struggling to put food on the table and now keeping warm will become a luxury. They need your help. You can purchase a warm blanket at ShopHelpingHands.us and we will deliver to a Senior in Need. Additionally, you can purchase a blanket and drop it off at our collection sites:
Canyon Lake Community Church
Pack Wrap & Ship in the Canyon Lake Town Center
Canyon Lake Mobile Golf Cart Repair in Lake Elsinore
Help us help them.
A Helping Hands Christmas
December 2022 was a wonderful month full of events for Helping Hands. Our distribution teams set out each week and delivered hundreds of bags of food to our neighbors in need. Not only did the bags have food, but also socks thanks to our very successful Socktober sock drive! On the second Saturday of December, our volunteers came together and packed food. Helping Hands provided cookies, donuts, and Christmas music as our volunteers worked. During our packing event, we had our annual toy drive, Toys from the Heart. Members of our community donated their lightly used toys to give to children who needed a little magic this Christmas season. We also had a special guest, the man himself, Mr. Claus! He brought cheer to our day and helped gather toys. Another wonderful blessing came from Bolder Electric. They donated 10 brand new bikes. The sounds of joy and laughter from the children warmed our hearts. We cannot thank our supporters and volunteers enough for making December 2022 one to remember.
Rainey Days and Saturdays
Rain or Shine, Helping Hands volunteers meet to pack groceries for our Neighbors in Need.
It rained this Saturday morning so the Helping Hands set-up crew moved our packing line to a near-by covered area and the volunteers came to get the job done. It was a special day and many new friendships were made. God Blessed our Neighbors in Need, our volunteers and the community that day.

Helping Hands “Care Card” Program a Success
The Care Card program for young volunteers is very successful. Parents love to see their children learn to care for others and giving back to our Neighbors in Need.
This program is a blessing for all concerned.
Helping Hands Initiates “Care Card” Program for Young Volunteers.
Volunteers at Helping Hands have been spending time at home making Care Cards that are inserted into food bags that are delivered to local low-income seniors. The cards are Heart Felt words of encouragement.
The program has been so successful Helping Hands is setting up a new area on pack day for the children of volunteers can make care cards. The children spend time learning why they are making cards, what Helping Hands does with the cards and how much the seniors appreciate the cards.
This program is a blessing for all concerned.
