Unemployment is at 8.9 % in Central Florida. All I can say is WOW. You can get so wrapped up in the numbers- unemployment is up, the dow is down and everything else is spinning around like a tornado our of control.
The blessing is that in the midst of the storm some things get better. Customer Service is better now than it has been in a long time, new ideas and ways of doing business are cropping up, and people are learning what is really important to them.
At Christian HELP we provide employment counseling, but we do so much more. We are able to help with immediate food needs, and also able to provide hope. Our God is so big and so amazing that he can turn any situation into a blessing.
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose . Romans 8:28
Many people are looking for ways to get more involved in their community. Some are volunteering, and some are helping financially and with in-kind gifts. For Christian HELP, in March and April, we are able to make your dollars go even further with matching funds. We have several generous donors, Charity Challenge, and the Feinstein Foundation matching the funds we receive during this time.
As we face the downturn of the economy and the fall of our job fair revenues due to less hiring, we pray that you will stand with us financially and prayerfully. You can donate online through the widget on the blog, through paypal at http://christianhelp.org or by check to 450 Seminola Blvd, Casselberry, FL 32707.
We appreciate your generosity.
