Here’s the BIG announcement: yes, Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation finalMore Hope For Single Mothersly has its own meeting room!!!
After a long time of putting up with inconveniences (Shop EHHF Pantry events in tight quarters and EHHF’s Seminars and Workshops to which participants had to be bused back and forth), we finally have a permanent place to gather! (Right next door to the Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation’s Donation Center)

The Founder and staff of EHHF are elated by the new development! The space is being renovated as we speak and we hope to have it ready soon.
In the meantime, your help is badly needed. There’s an urgent need for donations of the following items:

  • a large refrigerator to store fresh food donations
  • donations of non-perishable foods
  • office furniture
  • meeting room furniture, most notably a HUGE table
  • seating for 20-30 people (long benches would help as well)
  • items for a children nook
  • security system
  • office supplies
  • folding security gate for a storefront (to keep computer equipment and other life-saving valuables protected)

Whether you’re in N. Hollywood, Studio City, Burbank, Sun Valley or anywhere else in Greater Los Angeles area and have any of the items listed above available for a tax-deductible donation, please help! Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation is fighting the good fight. EHHF is feeding disadvantaged single parent families (many children!!!) and holding workshops to prepare single parents for good jobs and self-sufficiency. The brand new meeting room will help us expand and assist more applicants.

Los Angeles area business and residents, please:

  • donate refrigerator to store fresh food donations
  • donate non-perishable foods
  • donate office furniture
  • donate a table
  • donate chairs for 20-30 people
  • donate children nook
  • donate security system
  • donate office supplies
  • donate folding security gate for a storefront (to keep computer equipment and other life-saving valuables protected)

If you can donate any of the goods listed above: please donate! (Every donation is tax-deductible!) If you prefer to donate money, we’ll get the items needed most quickly! If neither is an option under your conditions but you have stuff you no longer need or use, please donate to our Charity Store. Anything you can contribute to help EHHF make the meeting ready ASAP is priceless to the many members-beneficiaries we serve!

Single mothers are the unsung heroes of our times. They have to work for two, care for two and have an indomitable spirit. They deserve YOUR support!

ATTENTION EHHF MEMBERS: even though our new meeting room isn’t quite ready yet, all EHHF programs continue without interruption.

San Fernando Valley’s single parents in need of assistance can pick up enrollment forms in Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation’s Thrift Store. Prospective members are welcomed to come back for an initial interview with the completed enrollment application and required documentation to EHHF office on Thursdays between 4 and 6 pm.

Re-gift Holiday Gifts GUILT-FREE

 Re-gift Holiday Gifts GUILT-FREE  How YOU Can Help

Holidays, holidays and now, it’s after. We’ve all received some gift that doesn’t quite fit our expectations. Recycling the gift in our immediate circle of family and friends may backfire. Here’s an idea. Sell it on eBay AND support the mission of Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation (EHHF)!

Sell unwanted holiday gifts on eBay and donate from 10% to 100% of the final sale price with eBay Giving Works to support our work for disadvantaged single parent families.
Your listing will benefit from several unique program features that have been proven to attract more buyers and raise awareness of our cause such as the eBay Giving Works ribbon and enhanced searchability.
Plus your listings will automatically qualify for the eBay Giving Works Fee Credit Benefit and you’ll receive a tax-receipt for your donation.

How to Use eBay Giving Works
1. Click “Customize your listing”
2. Look for the “eBay Giving Works” field (Click “Add or Remove Options” if you don’t see it) in the Sell Your Item form in the “Choose how you’d like to sell your item” area
3. Choose “Select a new nonprofit”
4. In the pop-up window that appears, type “Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation” in the “Nonprofit Name or Keyword” field
5. Select Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation and a percentage (10-100%) you wish to donate to us (please note: there is a $1 minimum donation if your item sells)

It’s as simple as that! If your item sells, our organization will receive the percentage you selected to donate. It’s giving back without giving your gift back. Like I said: Re-gift holiday gifts GUILT-FREE!

How YOU Can Help Poor Single Parent Families

Every charitable organization – the people who witness the plight of others every day! – dreams of substantial donations: a house, a car or a fat check. Such amounts can secure housing, healthcare, transportation, dental services and so much more for disadvantaged single parent families (and when I say that I’m thinking of specific persons, of familiar faces of worried parents and scared children…).

The reality is that substantial donations rarely – if ever – arrive. The giving that changes lives often comes in… pennies. Think about it, if every Internet user – or eBay user, if you prefer – were to give Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation (EHHF) just a few pennies, ALL the struggling single parents worried sick about maintaining a roof over their kids’ head and where their next meal will come from would be suddenly worry-free! They’ll able not to barely survive another day but move forward: go back to school, get a babysitter while they work… Their children would be safe and well-cared for; they’d have the same opportunities as all other kids…

True charity shouldn’t be a temporary band aid but a second chance to start clean, succeed and THRIVE!

Why the tirade? To make sure you know that we won’t reject a car or a house donation but we appreciate EVERY PENNY donated to Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation (EHHF). Those pennies add up. You don’t have to sacrifice your possessions or your comfort to be a HERO to a single parent family suffering financial hardship. Visit Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation (EHHF) on eBay Giving Works and please, PITCH IN!
