Imagine a little 8 year old girl, waiting for Christmas to come with youthful anticipation, waking up on Christmas morning not only to see there are no gifts under the tree, but there is no tree.
Imagine a single dad doing all he can to provide for his family having to make do with a Christmas dinner of Ramen noodles.
Imagine a wife who has lost her husband after 20 years of marriage because he “doesn’t love her anymore”, trying to wrestle with her own issues and provide a nice Christmas for her children when she hasn’t had a job in several years.
Christian HELP has been providing Christmas to families in need for 15 years through the generous support of the community. This year the need is even bigger than ever. Unemployment is up, salaries are down, and underemployment is at an all time high. People are suffering. Some don’t even want to think about Christmas because it puts a knot in their stomach knowing that they cannot provide for their families. They dread the sadness in their children’s eyes when the kids say “Mommy it is ok, we can do without.”
Each Christmas we work with businesses, churches, and individuals to provide Christmas for needy families in the Central Florida area. This year we have a new challenge as one of our large sponsors will not be able to participate with us. This makes it even more challenging to provide for all of the need. The families we see are experiencing unemployment or under-employment as a result of the economy. We are working with them at Christian HELP to provide skills training, resume assistance, and coaching in order to help them obtain employment.
We are asking you to consider placing a Dove Tree in your location or Collection box for a toy drive for our HELP GIVE Christmas event. The Dove tree comes with Dove cards labeled from newborn to age 17. Each card has 3 gift suggestions people can select from and return the unwrapped gifts to your location. Volunteer drivers will come and pick up the gifts to be distributed at Christian HELP. Generally the tree goes up the week of Thanksgiving until the week before distribution.
Volunteers are welcome to come and participate in the Distribution process in December. Please consider helping us to help our community. We can make a difference, one family at a time.
About us:
Christian HELP is a non profit devoted to preventing homelessness by helping the unemployed find jobs while providing for them materially and spiritually. Last year, we were able to help over 6,000 people find jobs, we gave away over half a million pounds of food, helped 644 families to have Christmas, and spent $56,000 keeping people in their homes and the lights on.
Additionally, if you would like to get involved in other ways, please visit our website at www.Christianhelp.org or come and see us at one of our Monthly luncheons.
We appreciate your generosity.

Why Christian HELP is Unique
One of our team members sent this to me as we deal with all sorts of distractions each day as a reminder of why we are so unique.
There is no other like us, and we do what we do to glorify God's name.
We are not just a food pantry.
We are not just a ministry that prays and cares for people.
We are not just a non profit that has a Christmas Program that helps hundreds and hundred of families.
We are not just a placement agency that has employment counselors, computer resource center, job skills class, and resume coaches.
We are not just networking group for hundreds of employers in Central Florida We are not just a ministry that outreaches to central Florida's unemployed through seminars and job fairs.
We are not just a ministry that has an online job board with some jobs and a website with resources.
We are not just a agency that partners to specialize in helping Central Florida residents get back to work.
We are not just a non profit that has hundreds of volunteers who help us with God's mission.
We are not just a ministry that will work tons of extra hours to get God's work done and do all that it takes to get the work done AND help the unemployed feel encouraged.
We are not just a ministry that does all of this with 19 employees where nearly half are part time.
What we are is God's servants who are directed to serve his people and to do it in such a way that glorifies his name and to carry out his vision.

Harvest of Hope 2010
For those of you who are new to Christian HELP, we were established in 1992 when 3 individuals came together to form a ministry to reach the lost by providing hope, encouragement, love, and prayer to the unemployed. 18 years later many lives have been touched and changed thanks to Dick and Madge Wilson following the call of God along with their friend Harry Kunisch. Over 71,000 people have been connected with jobs and over 6.8 million pounds of food have been distributed. This is the equivalent of 10 acres of grocery bags filled with 8lbs of food side by side. Another way of looking at it would be if we put the bags side by side they would stretch from Orlando to the North side of Jacksonville.
I don’t have to tell you unemployment is 11.9%. I don’t have to tell you the economy is bad and people are suffering. I don’t have to tell you how people are struggling to find jobs. I don’t have to tell you how frustrating it is to send out resume after resume and hear nothing back. I don’t have to tell you as the job search goes on and stretches longer and longer that people are losing hope. I don’t have to tell you the financial consequences of losing your job and possibly losing your house. I don’t have to tell you there are children in Central Florida missing meals because their parents have to choose between groceries and a roof over their head.
I don’t have to tell you how frustrating it is when you don’t hear back from employers and how difficult it can be to apply online especially when you have never had to use a computer before. I don’t have to tell you about the person who worked at the same company for 17 years only to have all of their belongings taken out in a box when the company closed their doors. I don’t have to tell you that these people are your neighbors and they are hurting, they are scared, and they are hungry, and some of you I know are in this room right now. I don’t have to tell you these are not stories, they are people, these are lives. What I can tell you, is that we care about them and we want to help, and we can’t do it alone. It takes a community to help the unemployed, to help the hurting, to help the hopeless, to help the scared. It takes all of us to come together in prayer and action to make a difference.
When people enter the doors of Christian HELP, they don’t always know what to expect. What they get is a listening ear, help with their job search, food if they need it, and an opportunity for prayer and if they are open to it an invitation to learn more about God, about Jesus. I fell in love with Christian HELP many years ago when I saw the passion the people here had to help others. As I see evidence of God every day through His actions, my love continues to grow stronger for Him and for this ministry.
We love to celebrate as people connect with jobs. Recently, Danielle, a volunteer we met through facebook landed a job through a lead we provided. We had held an Employment Seminar at College Park Baptist Church earlier this year and one of our friends there has an e-mail she sends out with job leads. I sent a job lead to Danielle and she applied and was interviewed. They did not choose her for that job, but they were impressed enough that they created a job for her. By networking with others and partnering in the community, we become stronger and it helps us to help others. As you hear about job openings, please share them with us so we can continue to help more people like Danielle.
As we go forward, we need to do more. We identified a few years ago as the economy got rough that more was needed. We had to teach people about how to find jobs, how to improve their resumes, how to create a plan for their search. We added employment seminars, we added more resources to our job fairs, and we continue to train our counselors on new trends. We continue to seek new ways to improve our services, but it is not enough. We are literally out of space with 3 of our staff telecommuting. We have more than one desk in each office. Our technology is antiquated for our vision. We have plans to expand, but we cannot do it without your help. It takes a community to educate job seekers, to build a future for our children as we help our neighbors to secure better jobs. We need resources, we need volunteers, and we need the finances to keep the dream alive of continuing to be a safe place for job seekers to come.
It is my prayer, that you will keep Christian HELP on your prayer list and lift us up daily, but even more that you will seek ways to invest in this important ministry in Central Florida. It takes a community to help the unemployed, to help the hurting, to help the hopeless, to help the scared. It takes all of us to come together in prayer and action to make a difference.

Join in the Harvest
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Galatians 6:9 (NIV)
We would love to have you join us at our annual fundraiser "Harvest of Hope" this year at First Baptist Winter Park on October 6th from 11:30 am-1:00 pm. It will be an inspiring event sharing the impact of Christian HELP in the community over the past 18 years and looking towards the future.
We need your help now more than ever. Our clients are your friends, and your neighbors. They are the people you sit next to at church. Here in Florida, many people do not have a strong family support system. When they reach the end of their rope they have nowhere to turn.
Christian HELP provides hope, encouragement, love, and prayer. More than just job leads, it is a place of compassion. Christ is at the center of all we do and we do our best to shine His light to those who walk in to our doors. We try to provide rest for the weary and broken hearted through tangible support and prayer.
Please HELP us HELP them. Consider attending our event or donating today. You will be blessed.

Successes
Sometimes we spend so much time thinking about all the people we work with who are still struggling to find a job, keep food on the table, and try to make ends meet that we forget to stop and celebrate the successes.
This week three people I have been working with and praying with landed jobs. One as a bank manager, one in non-profit, and one in marketing. It was so wonderful to celebrate with them as the offers came in.
Our jobs at Christian HELP can be challenging and some days it seems like we can't do enough for people. God always let's us know that He can.
Many tears flow here with sadness, but some days we get to have the happy tears as well.
Please continue to pray for us and help us to chip away at joblessness in Central Florida. Thank you!

A letter to the politicians running for election in Florida 8/12
This is a letter I wrote after hearing many of the candidates for office speaking at the Christian Chamber Hob Nob. I expanded out my e-mail list after the event to all of those running for major positions. To date I have received 6 responses.
I recently heard you speak at the Christian Chamber Candidate Forum and Hob Nob. I found the event to be a great way to see and hear in person where you stand on many of the issues. Thank you for participating.
As I make my decisions personally on voting and encourage others to vote, I did want to take a moment to talk about what I am seeing in my work daily. Since mid 2008, I have seen people losing their jobs. Job losses are still continuing today. A good friend of mine was recently profiled in the Orlando Sentinel after having to resort to coming to our food pantry to provide for his children. He was one of 10 people laid off from a Casselberry Construction firm in May. I have seen a single mother who HAS A JOB suffering because she is not making commission selling supplemental health insurance because people are waiting to see what happens with the healthcare bill. I have seen many people who are told they are “overqualified” for jobs they are applying for and won’t even be considered because the employer is afraid they will leave if things get better. I have also seen people doing everything right. They have excellent resumes, take classes, network, have interviews and come in as the second or third choice for a job.
I see hearts break and tears flow daily as former Vice President’s of HR can’t put food on their tables, as donors to our Ministry become clients, and as the common working man can’t figure out how to apply online because he has never had to do that before.
Job seekers are volunteering, they are giving back in other ways. They are us. They are hurting and they are scared. They go to churches and non-profits only to be turned away because the non-profit is at fire code capacity. They go to job fairs and open house events willing to take anything. They use their precious last drops of gas putting all of their pride aside to walk into a food pantry to ask for help.
Here are some startling statistics-
Source- Second harvest hunger survey 2009
731,900 people accessed food pantries last year
47% are children
48.4% from single parent households
32% chose between eating and medical care
50% chose between food and transportation
49% choose between food and rent/mortgage payments
Source- Families in Transition Seminole County Public Schools
1357 homeless children were registered in Seminole County public schools
for the 2009-2010 year
Source- Bureau of Labor Statistics/Department of Labor
Florida has the 5th highest unemployment rate in the country at 11.4%
44.9% of the unemployed have been out of work over 27 weeks
34.2 is the average number of weeks a person is out of work
$275 (with $25 of that being stimulus dollars) is the maximum amount of unemployment compensation a person gets in a week in Florida. This is $6.85/hr for a 40 hour week of looking for a job. It is lower than minimum wage.
We recently had a candidate for State Senate come to our office to talk to about 10 of our unemployed clients. They were articulate and engaged. They had great questions. One haunting thing was there was no answer when I asked how we can help now.
Christian HELP is devoted to preventing homelessness by helping people find jobs while providing for them materially and spiritually. We offer one on one employment counseling, job skills classes, and free resume assistance. Our Central Florida Employment Council Division (CFEC) hosts an online job board, 6 major job fairs including the 2 Mayor’s (Orlando and Orange County), Governor’s, and President’s job fair, and has a network of employers who meet monthly to network and learn. Additionally, Christian HELP provides qualified referrals to other agencies for additional help. We also have a 2000 square foot food pantry so that our clients do not have to choose between eating and paying their bills.
Recognized in as a model faith based program by the White House in 2003 and as one of the top ten Social Entrepreneurial organizations in the United States by the Manhattan Institute in 2004, Christian HELP runs on just over $700,000 a year, has no debt and has been recognized as the most productive private permanent placement agency in Central Florida by the Orlando Business Journal Since 1999 with over 71,000 people connected with jobs.
Some of the issues we need to address include keeping jobs in the United States, creating a friendly environment for both large and small businesses, and what happens to the unemployed when their resources run out. Retirement accounts are being used for living expenses, and people are forced to sell all they have just to have somewhere to stay.
While there are some who abuse the system, there are many job seekers who just want to work.
In today’s paper was a solemn reminder of just how competitive the job market is. Here is a quote about the job fair just held at the Peabody hotel for 300 positions. “About 6,500 people came out for the hotel's four-day job fair, which ended Tuesday, said Alan Villaverde, managing director of Peabody Hotel Group. It was a pretty emotional experience for all of us, Villaverde said. We saw firsthand how the economic downturn is affecting the residents of Orange County.”
I would like to invite you to come and see first hand how this small ministry works so efficiently with so little waste. Please call or e-mail me if you would like to schedule a tour. sandi@christianhelp.org 407-834-4022.
Thank you for your time and desire to serve.

"God Provides"
I worked in the Pantry on Friday and experienced how the disciples felt when Jesus fed thousands with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish.(Matthew 14) The fridge on the right shows what I saw when filling food orders for our clients. We seemed to be low on food and the clients kept coming and yet no-one was turned away empty handed. I saw how our drivers kept going out in our vans and coming back numerous times with boxes and boxes of food. I worked side by side with volunteers who have served with Christian HELP for 10+ years and who still have that love and compassion for each and every client, a compassion that only can come from our Savior. I asked one volunteer what she felt about being able to help in the Pantry and she gave me the title to this article she said she can sum it up in two words - "God Provides".
One of our clients, "Maria", was so excited as this was the last time she was having to come and get food as her new job was starting on Monday. She had two boys and one of them was having a birthday. We were able to give her Batman Cupcakes and a box of individually wrapped fruities which she was going to give to her son's friends who were coming round to celebrate the birthday.
The hardest part of my day in the pantry was when I had a client's food order to fill who asked me to be careful what I gave her as she came on foot and had to be able to make it back to the bus stop. It felt like a 100 degrees outside and I wondered how desperate one must be to still have to make the trip out to us under those conditions. It is hard to understand the hardship some must endure and I can only turn to God at those times and remember this verse in Psalm 44 vs 3 "...it was not their own strong arm that gave them victory. It was your right hand and strong arm and the blinding light from your face that helped them, for you loved them."
We thank all who donate to this humble Ministry! There are many of you out there, from churches, grocery stores and individuals who are affecting peoples lives through us - I hope this gave you a little glimpse of how you are helping our community.
God Bless,
