Helping Hands serves members in two ways:

1.  Meals  We operate on a "credit" system.  Everyone has 3 meal credits for the year beginning in September.  If you provide a meal for someone you receive a credit.  If you need a meal for your family you are subtracted a credit.

What can I request a meal for?
Anything!  Our members are each unique and in different places in life, so we acknowledge the difference and extend meals beyond babies and surgeries.  Maybe you need a meal because you're coming back from an out of town funeral, maybe you just had a bad week with sick kiddos and then got sick yourself, or maybe you got put on bedrest and just don't have the energy to feed your ravenous husband and 4 year old.  Whatever it is, our members are here to support each other.

I just had a new baby ... can I get more than 3 meals?
Yes!  All new mommies are credited with an extra 3 meals.  Some mommies may choose to provide 6 meals early in the pregnancy, thus having 9 meals (3 general meals + 6 "banked" meals).  When you add the 3 "new mommy" meals, you would have 12 meals to use for baby that could be used at your discretion.


2.  Sunshine Cards  We also like to send cards out to members for various occassions ... Birthdays, New Member Welcome, Condolences, Get Well, etc.
