How to Help
-
Kroger Rewards: Sign up for Kroger Rewards - our number
is 84910. You must re-enroll every year around April.
-
Formula Drive:
God’s
Helping Hands has a need and we are asking you to help fill it.
Programs like WIC have, due to their own cutbacks, lessened the
amount of assistance that they are giving to the families. This
is leaving many families with difficult choices, they have to
feed their baby, but what other necessities do they have to give
up to feed their young ones? In an effort to combat this
problem, GHH is having a Formula Drive. We are requesting
donations of baby formula of all types for infants from zero to
toddler. Similar, Enfamil, Good Start or store brands are some
examples of the types available. The formula drive is continuing
for the rest of 2008, due to the high numbers of families we are
assisting with young children. This is a need that we should
fill year round. Your donations can be delivered to GHH during
open hours. Should you have any questions please contact the
GHH office.
-
Used Computers for Families in Need - If you have an old
computer, working or not, that you no longer want collecting
dust, you can donate it to God's Helping Hands. We have a
volunteer who will fix the computer so that we can give it to a
family in need. If we are unable to fix the computer, we
will sell the parts so that we can purchase more food.
-
Pop Can Drive: Donate pop cans and
bottles at the GHH facility.
-
Volunteer Your Time: Give an hour
to GHH - young & younger, tall & small - volunteers, we want
them all! We especially need volunteers during open hours on
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Read about the volunteer of the month...
- Change Cans: Take a change can and fill it with change or
bills. When it is full, bring it back
- M&M's Containers: Take a container of M&Ms and eat
the candy. Afterwards fill it with quarters, which will equal
$14. Bring it back when full.
-
Eat at the God's Helping Hands Cafe. Cost is a donation for
members and absolutely free for guests.
-
Ink Cartridges: GHH has launched a
fundraising project,
Empties4Cash, with the help of a local
recycling company. Empty ink cartridges can be recycled and
remanufactured. Our facility will receive $2.00 for each
cartridge turned in. You Can Help! Any cartridge with a
print head can be recycled, regardless of brand or type. Do you
have an HP, Lexmark, Xerox, Compaq, Samsung, Kodak, Canon, or
Apple printer? Bring in your empty cartridges (please put in
ziplock bag to avoid ink spills) marked to God's Helping Hands.
You can give them to Brian or Lisa, or you can place them in the
donation shed marked recyclable. You can also bring them in to
the God's Helping Hands facility.

costs have risen tremendously since April and the money donated
can be used to continue to purchase food for our families. Make
your donation in memory of a loved one. Now that we have
moved to a bigger location, we are helping even more people.

items. Thank you.

Rules for Donating
In order to sort through
and stock donations quicker, we need your help:
-
Please consider the weight
of the bags and boxes when donating. We have many different
volunteers who may be lifting them and some have been injured.
We cannot afford to lose our volunteers due to injury. Thank
you!
-
Please Sort & Label Donations:
Thanks to everyone who
has started using this new procedure - it has been a tremendous help in the sorting process. Please continue to
sort donated clothing based on the size and gender with each
matching category taped together using MASKING TAPE.
Remember to label clothing by gender, size & category. (EXAMPLE:
Men's Large Short-Sleeve Shirts, Size ___.) Please note that
masking tape will not harm the clothes.
-
When bringing
your donations to God's Helping Hands, please bring them during
our open hours. Please do not leave donations outside. If the
weather damages them, they will be discarded.
-
There is a
donation trailer at Rochester Church of Christ where you may
leave small items.
Again, thank you
for all the donations - we are truly blessed by your generosity!
-
Furniture & Large
Appliances: If you want to donate furniture or large
appliances, please call the Furniture Bank of Oakland County,
(248) 332-1300. God's Helping Hands does not take furniture and
large applicance donations because we are unable to arrange
deliveries or store these donations.
ACO Hardware Coupon Items - ACO stores have a weekly
flyer that comes out with a 10¢ coupon good for items like
screwdrivers, tape measurers, etc. if you've ever wanted to help
get items, but aren't sure what to purchase, here you go! These
items would make great gifts for Mother's Day, Father's Day,
stocking stuffers, or even personal care items on Focus
Saturdays at GHH. So next time you're in ACO and you want to
pick up a little something to donate to GHH, you could use the
coupon for that.
