Preparing for the Harvest

A year ago the unemployment rate was on the rise. It was 6.1% and we thought that was high. Today it is 11% and jobs are much harder to find. Christian HELP's client count has gone up dramatically from 30-50 people a day to an average of 80 a day now. The needs in the community are so great. We cannot do this alone.

We have our annual Harvest of Hope fundraiser coming up October 22nd at First Baptist Winter Park from 11:30 AM-1 PM. This event helps Christian HELP to continue to provide much needed services to the communtity. When others are shrinking, we are expanding both locations and services. We have been tremendously blessed by God with food to meet the needs and He keeps showing us that He really is in our day to day lives.

If you are able, we would love to have you be a table captain and invite your friends, church group, or business associates to join you. Each table seats 8. Please e-mail or call Jackie 407-834-4022 or by e-mail at jackie@christianhelp.org if you would like more information.
