As those of you who follow Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation’s blog surely know, EHHF – and its members / beneficiaries! – have been desperate for a refrigerator for quite a while now.
Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation has approached many major companies and retailers with requests for a donation of a refrigerator within the last 4 months. Our requests have been ignored by many.

Meanwhile, Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation’s Shop EHHF Pantry program, which helps stretch struggling single parents’ grocery budgets, is expanding and attracts more and more recipients each month. EHHF is very thankful for the support of donors who contribute food to our pantry. However a large portion of the food donations we’re receiving consists of fresh, perishable foods. It is great because they’re healthy for young families and growing children. Unfortunately, in California, without the ability to refrigerate food, a lot of well-meaning fresh food donations were going to waste; that’s why obtaining a refrigerator donation was of utmost importance to us.

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.

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!
