Dear Friends & Helpers

Thank you all very much for your participation in our 2009 Holiday Program. The event was a huge success and we could not have done it without your support. Because of your kindness and generosity we were able to help provide thousands of children with a memorable holiday.

Thank you letters are on their way in the mail and should all arrive in the next week. Our next event is in May for Mother’s Day. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions please feel free to e-mail us at info@friendsandhelpers.com.

Sincerely,

F&H

Dear Friends and Helpers,

I would like to start by thanking you all for your incredible support at Friends and Helpers. Because of your kindness, we were able to help over 10,000 mothers, children, and grandmothers have a wonderful 2008 holiday season. They entered the new year with hope and light and felt loved. I am truly humbled by your generosity and overwhelmed by your continued support of Friends and Helpers. People often tell me that I call Friends and Helpers the “little charity that could” and you have proved me wrong. We are now the “Big Charity that Does!” This is only possible because of each and every one of you. Every hour that you give us, every gift, every gift card, and every box that is loaded on a truck helps us reach our goal.
