On January 19th 2013 Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation welcomed new struggling single parent families. It was a warm meet and greet during which the eligibility and needs of each single parent family were evaluated.

EHHF cares about children

There were snacks to keep children occupied while the adults sorted out paperwork and sipped on coffee.

The Founders, activists and volunteers of Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation worked tirelessly to ensure that no single parent family in need is deprived of assistance.

Once the eligible families were qualified a warm lunch was provided. Unemployed – and under-employed – single parents breathed a sigh of relief knowing that they’ll receive much needed assistance in the form of food, clothing and household essentials.

Nobody left hungry or empty-handed...

In February 2013 (next month) EHHF will be unveiling its new programs and the qualified attendees of this event will also be invited to participate in seminars and lectures that will empower them on their way to gainful employment and financial self-sufficiency.

Delicious food and drinks

EHHF’s first event of 2013 was a resounding success! Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation thanks McDonald’s, Noah’s Bagels and Starbucks for their generous sponsorship and great contributions: it wouldn’t be the same without you!

With the holiday season behind us, Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation is plunging into a whirlwind of activities. This coming Saturday (01/19/13) we’ll hold a meeting for 30 disadvantaged single parent families to determine the eligibility and specific needs of each. (Some of the families will benefit from our kitchen essentials and accessories give-away in late January.)

Single parents who are currently jobless or under-employed shoulder more responsibilities and face more fears than married parents in the same situation. As single parents, they’re usually also sole providers. It’s essential to elevate some of the pressure they’re under and help them get back on their feet.

We’re grateful to the sponsors of the upcoming get-together. Our thanks go to:

who have pledged to make the planned meeting warm and hospitable by providing foods and drinks.
All three are well-known and popular brands, their willingness to support our cause further highlights their positive impact on the communities they serve. (We’re certain that their generosity won’t go unnoticed!)

This is the first of a series of meetings which will help EHHF focus its efforts on particular recipients and their needs during the year.

In its “spare time”, Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation builds productive alliances, plans its next collection drive and – of course! – work on programs and events for 2013 is in the works. As a matter of fact it will be announced on our blog, next month….
