Our Fall 2012 Charity Event

This Fall His Hands Charity participated in Eagle Mountain City Halloween Village event. It was truly a blessing that the City was doing this event and all we had to do is show up. Well, it does sound easy, but I can't even list on here how many hours and how many people got involved in this amazing service project! From hours of planning, to hours of organizing, cooking and preparing, nothing went in vain.

A lot of times we as a Charity have a privileged to ask local businesses like grocery stores to donate goods for our event. We thought we definitely had our costs for the bake sale covered with  the local stores, but it was not so. Because His Hands Charity is helping families out of the country pretty much all of the local grocery stores denied is in assisting.  We did not expect that and had to scramble for donations from committee members themselves and from other people. I was grateful for organized and inspired members of our committee who helped us to pull it all together and we were able to receive in kind donations and monetary donations for pie baking. After that was done Heather ( our caterer ) with help of other committee members and other volunteers spent three days baking pies for our pie tasting. We had sign ups of people going to help her, but of course she had to be there the whole time. I wanted to Thanks Heather and other volunteers for not giving up, no matter the circumstances!















The day before the even and of the day of the event I relied on the help and support of the people on our committee members. Laurel got the decorating and setting up with Heather and Mandy taken care of. We had enough and more then enough people helping! The day of the event was AMAZING! It was so great seeing our work at works, so to speak!

So if you happen to make it to our booth at Halloween Village you probably remember an obnoxious loud woman with a cat costume and a wig yelling about this charity, it was me! I found use to my loud personality and I was using it!!!
