Christian HELP is Filling the Gap This Summer

HELPing Hand   Greetings! Christian HELP is Filling the Gap This Summer For many of us, summer means vacations, cookouts, and time at the pool, but for tens of thousands of Central Florida children, it could mean going hungry. Now that school is out for summer, parents on a limited budget are now facing the challenge of providing the extra meal their children would normally receive at school. Christian HELP fills that gap for so many families throughout the summer as we see a boom in the demand for food. Through generous donations from individuals like yourself and local grocery stores, we are able to provide nutritious food to the families and little ones that would otherwise go without. Check out this short piece from Channel 9 about how Christian HELP is serving our community this summer by clicking the link above! Mark Your Calendars It's Christmas in July!  Please join us on July 24th from 5:30 - 7:30pm for a time of fellowship, fun, and support for Christian HELP's Christmas program at the Christian Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours   Christmas in July!
