because school matters A great deal of planning, shopping and work goes into having our annual backpack giveaway. Because of the wonderful donations from Upper Arlington Lutheran Church and our supporters, this year we are giving out 550 backpacks filled with school supplies. Thank you to Terry Trubiano and Sue Bauchmoyer for coordinating the school supplies for the backpacks. And thank you to Pat Cleary for helping us to buy the school supplies at a reduced cost. GHHC is so grateful that we had wonderful volunteers who helped to pack the backpacks. The UALC staff used their Volunteer Day to stuff the backpacks with these extra supplies. And the Bible Study small group including Terry Trubiano, Sue Bauchmoyer, and Dawn Griebel packed the backpacks as well. Thank you, thank you to all of you! We could not complete this project without your assistance! We have asked Dr. CeCe Harris for Columbus Parks and Recreation's van to pick up 400 backpacks to deliver to Huy Elementary for the giveaway. Each hygiene help centers will receive 50 backpacks to given out in their communities: Douglas Community Center, Far East Community Center and the Dodge Community Center. We have been recruiting volunteers for our event on Saturday, August 13. Tammy was able to solicit 1200 bottles of water, $80 worth of ice, 1000 Cheryl's Cookies, 75-100 pizzas, and 15 safety cones. New this year: Community resources at Medina Middle School include 104.9 The River, Access One free phones, Action for Children, Care Source, Celebrate One, City of Columbus, Helping Hands Health & Wellness, Linden Market free apples, Medicaid, North Community Counseling, God's Hygiene and others. Thank you to the wonderful businesses which are supporting our event: Cheryl's Cookies, D & M Distributors (safety cones), Donato's, Eldorado’s (bottled water), Homegrown Smiles (free toothbrush kits), IGA Cook's Oakland Park, Kroger, Pizza Burg, Pizza Hut, #Thrivent and Upper Arlington Lutheran Church, and Zacks Corner Stop. Psalm 84:11-12 ~ For the Lord God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right. O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, what joy for those who trust in you. thrivent packs bags for GHHCDiane was so pleased to receive this email from an associate of her Thrivent financial and insurance agent. It was a great deja vu moment because Diane for years would apply for Thrivent Action Team projects to support activities and projects of God's Hygiene Help Center: I work with Jeff Ritter in the Reynoldsburg Office and I had an idea that he thought you might be able to help with. I (Thrivent) is one of the sponsors at the Linden-McKinley Golf Classic held on Saturday, August 6 at New Albany Links Golf Club. The event raises money for the Linden-McKinley Football Program. I had the idea of also using a Thrivent Action Team at the event to buy supplies for the golfers to stuff Blessing Bags to support the community. Since God’s Hygiene Help Center is located in the Linden Community, I thought this activity would be a way to showcase the member benefits of Thrivent and also be added support for the Linden Community. Does this makes sense? Would you be able to put me in touch with the correct person at the Help Center to coordinate? Joe Mulpas, CPA*, Financial Advisor, Northeast Advisor Group, Central Ohio Group Our wonderful volunteer Brenda Andracki agreed to contact Joe. She shared with him the hygiene products most often requested by our clients according to Peggy who helps pack orders at our Oakland Park Help Center. Brenda also offered to attend the Linden McKinley Golf Classic to share with the 100+ golfers about our mission here at GHHC. We will provide the hygiene bags for them and also our promotional brochures to give to the golfers. Thank you Thrivent, Joe and Brenda!  festa students
In late July, Erin Arnett contacted Terry to ask about getting hygiene bags for the FESTA teen helpers who helped with the Summer Lunch program. They discussed what hygiene items would best suit the teens' needs. The request was for 25 bags for teen girls and 25 bags for teen boys. Terry, working with Chris Bumpass, Resources Manager, and Lesley Tate, Operations Manager, ordered and picked up hygiene products and bags for the teen helpers. Thank you to Brian and Luke Chandler for packing the teen hygiene bags. Erin picked up the hygiene bags on Monday to give out to the teen helpers during the final week of the Summer Lunch program. Erin said: "I was thrilled to get hugs and see them there today! This last week at camp is very important as our teens can hopefully be there to get camp shirts, backpacks filled with school supplies, and hygiene bags from God’s Hygiene Help Center filled with personal care products."

Dodge community hygiene help center We truly just want to thank you for all your help and support in providing Dodge with the hygiene items we need to help serve and support our local community. We’ve heard countless people share their stories along with their gratitude for what we are currently doing and offering. Community members who are now able to purchase more food instead of spending massive amounts of money on hygiene products, some community members who are able to start saving for back to school items for their children since extra money is scarce, grandmothers who are taking care of their kid’s kids’ who need any type of support they can get, I could tell you the stories all day. We really are just truly grateful for the partnership that’s formed and are looking forward to helping that partnership flourish as much as possible in the future! THANK YOUUUUU! All the best, Nikki Van Dine, MBA, CPRP Recreation Manager Dodge Recreation Center Helping hands health & wellness center Helping Hands Health & Wellness Center is very thankful for the partnership we share with God’s Hygiene Help Center! As a Divine Dignity Hygiene Closet, we receive 25 hygiene bags each month to give to our patients that come to us for medical care. As a community, faith-based, free medical clinic we serve patients who are uninsured/underinsured and low income. These hygiene bags provide individuals with the hygiene, personal care, and cleaning supplies that they need. Our patients express how thankful they are to receive these bags! We wouldn’t be able to provide this wonderful gift without God’s Hygiene Help Center- thank you from all of us at Helping Hands! Allison Smith, Operations Manage  Tammy giving Lou Ann Carman a container of items for Christmas stockings Months ago one of our regular clients named Donna asked if we could collect and donate special items for Christmas bags for shut ins at their church. Thanks to HARP, we had some new Christmas stockings as well as some Bath and Body items. This month we met the President of the St. James the Less Women’s Club. Lou Ann shared, "At Christmas we do between 20 and 25 Christmas bags for our shut ins at church. I think soaps, creams, tooth brushes and tooth paste, any thing along these lines would be so welcomed. I am not sure about the adult diapers but will check and let you know. Thank you so much for all of your help. It is greatly appreciated." 1As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. Ephesians 4 volunteers at oakland park help center Welcome to Carolyne Uhas Graff who talked to Tammy at UALC at Mill Run about wanting to help where most needed. Of course that is serving our clients at our Oakland Park Help Center. We are so grateful that Carolyne can help one day a week for a few hours Thank you to the two sons of Pedros and Ruth Asgedom who came to volunteer one day. Tammy did not call anyone to ask for help. Only God could have led Pedros to call her to offer help if we needed it. The two young men Simon (older) and Lukas Estifanos were an answer to prayer since we were short handed that day. Bonnie spends the summer with her husband at their place in Michigan. Diane had taken her granddaughter on a trip to 5 central Europe countries and to see The Passion Play. Thank you to Peggy and Curtis who willingly help train our new volunteers on what to do at our Help Center. We would love to have you join us. We don't want to be short staffed when another fabulous volunteer accepts an internship position at the end of August. Look at available shifts and tasks at Volunteer So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10    RediQuik Signs created this sign for us. Curtis puts it out front of the sidewalk for us. oakland park help centerIn July we served 400 clients who come to our Help Center every Tuesday and Thursday. We all heard about the terrible fire on the Hilltop on Wedgewood. One of the neighbors had everything destroyed because of smoke damage. She heard that God's Hygiene Help Center gives out free hygiene and cleaning products. When the woman shared her story with Tammy and our volunteers, our hearts were touched. Wo we packed up a Clean Start Basket for them. Tammy also heard about a family who moved here from Guatemala. The woman is a home health aide helping Tammy's home bound mother.   Tammy is so proud of her great niece Mi'Yonni and also the daughter of a Linden community woman she's known. Miyonni Owensby graduated from Reynoldsburg Encore Academy and is going to West Virginia State University. Her major will be Business Administration and Management. Thank you to Kathryn Farrar for shopping for and packing 2 College Bags for these students going away to college. She packed up a shower tote filled with shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, towel and more. Then she filled a mesh laundry bag with tissues, hangers, feminine products and most important snacks. We are sure these bags are going to be much appreciated. Thanks Kathryn for your thoughtfulness! Thank you to Dr. Bill and Kathryn for delivering boxes of Christian books which were donated. Our clients enjoy looking through the books available to choose one. If you have extra Bibles around your home, would you consider donating them to GHHC on Oakland Park. Thank you. GO AND REACH BY CHRISTINE CAINE“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:19–20, ESV).
I love the passion with which Jesus lived His life on earth. His heart was always to seek and save those who were lost. It was so important to Him that after His crucifixion, death, burial, and resurrection, He took a detour on His way to Heaven to, in effect, say in Matthew 28, “Let me remind you why you’re here on this earth. I’m going to be seated at the right hand of the Father, and I’m going to come back and get you. But, in the meantime, this is what I need you to do. Here’s your job profile: There is a lost and broken world, and I am anointing you with the same Spirit that raised Me from the dead so you can be salt and light in the midst of it. You’re not supposed to run from the lost; you’re supposed to run to the lost. You’re not supposed to judge the lost; you’re supposed to love the lost. You’re not supposed to condemn the lost but go, reach, and help the lost.” Friend, we are God’s search and rescue team for a lost and broken world! But if you look at people through the lens of your prejudices, fears, biases, or even the lens of social media, you’re going to run from the very people God has called you to go and reach. Today, let’s be the people God has called us to be, ready to see others and reach out to them with His love, grace, and truth!

Deuteronomy 3:24 Amplified Bible new partner: the period pantryOn June 6, Tammy and Diane met with Jill Guinan of The Period Pantry. Tammy shared how embarrassed she felt as a a teen when she had no feminine products and had to use a washcloth. That of course only lasted a short time once she was at school and Tammy ended up cutting the rest of the day and rest of the week. Dignity and school are important. So We are glad to partner with The Period Pantry. Our Oakland Park Help Center will give Jill an estimate of how many and what products we need so we can hand out to our clients. Then we will give the above flyer to clients. The Period Pantry will deliver 30 products per person to the client's home.

h.a.r.p. mission Peggy Wolf, GHHC volunteer and HARP Mission Trip UALC volunteers made a trip to Caldwell in Southeast Ohio to aid HARP (Helping Appalachian Rural People) with two work projects. #1 Team, 5 people, built and repaired the wall in Penny’s trailer (she had lost her home in a fire in May), prepared and painted two rooms, colors of her choice. #2 Team, 6 people, worked on Melinda’s trailer which had been donated to HARP by a lady in a nursing home. This trailer was in need of a lot of TLC as it had been sitting ion a field for 2 years. It was moved to a new location and our team helped with electricity, tearing out carpet, cleaning out all rooms of rodent messes and what previous family had left behind. They also worked on a the trailer extension and built a deck on the back for Melinda. #3 Team, 2 people, visited the local nursing home and delivered 45 Blessing Bags. Thankfully, these were filled with items that had been donated to God’s Hygiene Help Center who graciously shared the love with us. We also visited former clients and gave new and previous clients a Blessing Bag. We also helped Team 2 in emptying and cleaning Melinda’s trailer. Penny and Melinda and the nursing home staff were so appreciative of the work they we did and we may go back to Caldwell in October for another mission project. Your plenty will supply what they need. 2 Corinthians 8:14 Father, please awaken me to the needs of others so I might give of the resources You’ve given me. When I’m in need, help me to trust You to provide through those who also love You. Our Daily Bread, June 22, 2022 clean start baskets In June we created 9 Clean Start Baskets for those starting over. Thank you to Kathryn Farrar and her granddaughters for packing 2 baskets for women in the Kindway program who will receive them in August. Men in the Embark program received 2 baskets in June. Then new clients in the Phoenix recovery program received 5 baskets with towels. We are fortunate to have another wonderful woman who shops for towels to donate for these baskets. In a beautiful email message from Christine Money, Executive Director of Embark: "Celebrating Three EMBARK Graduations" As is tradition, at the last EMBARK community gathering prior to the release of one of our graduates, volunteers, staff, and the inside EMBARK community form a circle and “pray out” the person being released. A staff member at the Marion Correctional Institution (MCI) perfectly captured the moment in the photo below on Wednesday, June 1, 2022 at the end of the EMBARK Season #10 graduation at MCI. This [day in which God has saved me] is the day which the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24 Amplified Bible tammy shares with another vbsOn June 27, Tammy and Terry visited with the VBS children at Peace. United Methodist Church in Pickerington. We are honored to have been selected as this year's VBS Mission Partner! Be on the lookout for our bins in the lobby during VBS. On June 30 they returned to Peace Church and Tammy shared her story of growing up poor without needed hygiene items. Tammy would cherish a small bar of soap which could be used to wash her hair, brush her teeth and bathe. She encouraged the students if they see someone dirty, to not bully them or make fun of them, instead give them a hug. They may not have any parents as you do and so in need of basic dignity items. Thank you to Peace Church, Carolyn, Nancy, and all of the wonderful VBS staff for your heart to support GHHC! And a huge thanks to all of the families that donated to us this week!! Afterschool Initiative
bicycleSometimes someone donates us an item we don’t usually stock. This time it was a child’s bicycle and sat in the OPHC for several weeks. Tammy waited for the right little person who God would direct her to who needed that bike. Today was the day. Brooklyn was so happy to have Curtis load the bike into her grandma’s trunk. Your plenty will supply what they need. 2 Corinthians 8:14 from homeless to volunteer On September 12, 2021 Guann Gregory, Mechelle Howard's nephew, was murdered. She said, "Once murder visits, it never leaves. I ask the Almighty God to have mercy on my should and allow me to be His instrument." That led to other gun violence at their rental property, thus they were evicted. Mechelle was homeless for 8 months, living out of her car and couch hopping with her rescue dog Penelope. No shelters would accept owners with pets. Mechelle went to IMPACT which helped her secure permanent housing. After she paid the deposit, first and last months' rent, she had nothing left for hygiene and household items. The resource specialist referred her to God's Hygiene Help Center. When Tammy heard her story, her heart melted and packed Mechelle a Clean Start Basket. Mechelle said, "I felt grateful for the help and thankful to have toiletries and household items to clean and move into a home. I'm humbled by the kind acts and forever changed. I simply want to help. I know how it feels to be judged and discriminated against, to have people laugh at you because they don't know my story or the stories of others seeking help. A kind word or a gentle soul that will help. God's mercy and grace delivered me and Penelope and the kind people that surrounds me are all God's gifts. I've been coming once a month and this help is greatly appreciated. If I can help anyone in their time of need, then I feel blessed to spread the word." We were delightfully surprised when Mechelle arrived at our Oakland Park Help Center at 9:30 am on June 28 to ask to volunteer. Diane and Kathy were happy to give her an application and interview her. Then Peggy and Bonnie gladly trained her in packing orders into hygiene bags. Welcome home Mechelle! The Lord will accomplish that which concerns me; Your [unwavering] lovingkindness, O Lord, endures forever— Do not abandon the works of Your own hands. Psalm 138:8 (Amplified Bible) thank you donors We could not serve those in need of dignity without your regular donations and prayers. This month because of the high temperatures and for the safety of our volunteers, our Oakland Park Help Center closed for 3 days. Still we served 373 clients in June. We reached a new record high of filling hygiene bags for 95 clients in 2 1/2 hours! That is a lot of entering into a computer, packing hygiene into bags and delivering to clients. All done where love wins!
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, Colossians 3:23 join our team of volunteer angelsWe have such an awesome team of volunteers at our Oakland Park Help Center (OPHC)--we have fun serving our clients while we are working together as a team. Volunteers at the Help Center help with greeting, checking in clients, filling hygiene bags with products and Our Daily Bread, and giving hygiene bags to our clients. OPHC located at 1402 Oakland Park is open Tuesdays and Thursdays. Volunteers usually arrive between 9:30 and 10 am so we have time to pray and be ready to serve our clients when we open at 10:30 am. We are open until 1 pm with coffee, bottled water, cookies and lunch provided. Please stop by to visit us to talk about volunteering and becoming one of the Linden Angels with us. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:32   in memory of john willisJohn Willis was the friendly greeter at God's Hygiene Help Center. Andrea texted us these words: "John passed away last night (May 20) after I got home from work. Keep his wife Donna family and friends in your prayers 🙏 He is at peace and God rest his soul. His battle is over. I will keep you all updated and posted as much as I can I'm not going to work today and will be here for Donna. Reach out to Donna I'm sure she will appreciate the thoughts. I don't know to do except be here." John was so special he was our Charlie to the Linden Angels we all love him and we will all help anyway we can sending love and prayers Oh my, so very sad. Hebrews 4:16, Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. I only met John once, but I could tell he was beloved by all of you! 💕🙏🏻 in kind donations to ghhc then to harp Diane takes Aqua Fit classes at Esporta Graceland. One of the class members named Jan asked Diane if GHHC could use some baby items. Even though we don't carry those items, she knew that one of our clients could probably use them. Then Jan shared that they were cleaning out storage closets at CSCC. Would we like boxes body wash, shaving cream, baby powder, deodorant and other items? Yes, we wold be glad to accept those items. As soon as we unloaded her vehicle and placed the boxes in the Help Center, Peggy Wolf walked into the Help Center to begin her volunteer shift and shared about the upcoming mission trip for Helping Appalachian Rural People (H.A.R.P.) Ministry in Caldwell, Ohio. H.A.R.P. is a Christian organization that works to serve people seeking self-sufficiency, leading to independence by providing spiritual, emotional and material support. Peggy and her husband Jim along with other volunteers with leave on this Southeast Ohio Mission Trip on June 8: at home construction projects, bed building, prayer, care and more. So we then helped load the donated boxes into Peggy's car. She said, "Thanks to GHHC we are able to give wonderful full Blessing Bags to give to their nursing home ministry with HARP." All packed by our volunteers, Linden's Angels. God's Hygiene is always happy to partner with another great ministry such as HARP which is helping people in need. vbs and ghhcThank you to the young people who will be collecting hygiene products as their mission project at Vacation Bible School. Upper Arlington Lutheran Church (UALC) VBS will be collecting hygiene during the week of June 13. Another church's VBS is considering adopting God's Hygiene for their mission project. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Scientific calculators for grades 8-12 school dignity boxes GHHC is now partnering with 6 schools in the Linden area by providing School Dignity Boxes. The school nurse at Linden McKinley STEM Academy emailed us this message: "I am in need of tampons, pads and deodorant again. I still have plenty of toothbrushes and toothpaste. Is there any way to get another donation before the end of the school year? Thank you again!! It has all been put to good use!!!!" Our super volunteer Brenda Andracki started packing a School Dignity Box this next morning and called the nurse to confirm if she needed extra items. As a student, Tammy remembers the embarrassing need for such basic dignity items. Tammy attended a dance performance at Duxberry Alternative Elementary School and of course shared about our School Dignity Boxes. The next day Diane emailed the school principal: "I am a retired Columbus City Schools teacher who volunteers with God's Hygiene Help Center. We have been providing several Linden area schools with a Dignity School Box filled with 25 items of deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap and feminine hygiene products. Would your school nurse want us to pack a box before school is released for the summer?" "Hi Diane, wow, this is great! Is there a cost for this? I am very interested, please let me know .Thank you. Best, Mbb" "All is a gift from God. We will pack a box on Tuesday for you." And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

Officer Zacher took Tammy to introduce her to a lady who runs the day care. When the lady saw Tammy, she exclaimed "Oh Tammy! Remember me? Remember you made me show you my lease? God's Hygiene and resources through Immaculate Conception were able to help furnish her house with furniture, food and hygiene. She said she would never forget me. Tammy had told her that God provided. She says "He still does. Praise and glory to God!" Receiving a Clean Start Basket from Tammy, this woman's photo was included on the front of our first GHHC brochure. Five years ago there were actually 3 homeless and hopeless women living at Faith Mission. They came to Tammy's door on Howey Road and said, "We heard about you. Please help us." So Tammy pulled all her resources and made a map what they should do. She referred them to Nancy's Place and they completed the 6 months program. They got their deposit and first month's rent paid. So they had their very own homes, three different apartments. So it was a happy reunion! 1 Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. 2 Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits-- 3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, 4 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, 5 who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. Psalm 103:1-5 CLEAN START BASKETSKathryn Farrar with help from her grandchildren packed and delivered two Clean Start Baskets to Paul Sparks for men in the Embark program. She also packed two Baskets for women in the Kindway program. GHHC so appreciates her volunteering to coordinate the Clean Start Baskets project. Tammy met a family with a number of children. They had moved from Jordan and were starting over in America. She knew they needed a proper welcome with a Clean Start Basket full of hygiene and cleaning products. curtis and his homeless friend(Our super greeter and helper Curtis has made friends with "Kevin." Curtis bought his dark green (almost black) 1995 Cadillac. Kevin comes around the Help Center every few days and we offer him a cup of coffee, bottled water, share our lunch with him, donated clothes and, of course, needed hygiene.. "I am deeply grateful for this important moment in my life. I want to share with you about a man who has become an intricate part of my life at this time. A homeless man who is genuine in his compassion and filled with kindness. I originally met Larry in the Dollar Tree parking lot where he was sleeping in his car. He was selling his old school Cadillac which he was actually living in at the time. I liked the car and wanted to help him out. Since my purchase of the Cadillac in February 2022, we have become good friends. Every time I see him, I take the time to talk with him. I thank God and all the ladies (Linden Angels) at God's Hygiene Oakland Center for the care and concern that they show to Mr. Kevin." Curtis Delaney 10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10 tammy and terry talk to area churchesThank you to the efforts of our new Church Donations Coordinators, Steve and Cheryl Heavilin. On Monday, May 9, Tammy and Terry talked to a group at Bethel Presbyterian Church. The church members were so impressed with the presentation that the next morning one of the ladies came to pick up a bin for a hygiene donation box at Bethel Presbyterian.  staff meeting at warehouseTerry Starr called a staff meeting at the beautiful new warehouse where GHHC staff are serving the community centers and Dignity Hygiene Closets. At the end of the meeting we had an early celebration for Andrea Yantone's birthday. Posted on Facebook: Terry Starr: "God’s power team!! So much work to do!" Together we can do God’s work! Comment: Who is the mascot in the foreground? Layla is Tammy's dog and our GHHC mascot. Notice how Lesley got him to look up and smile! Comment: My prayers and love I send to all of you, you are angels at work on this earth.  Tammy: "At the new location growing so fast. I love working for God!!! Amazing! So grateful!" Comment: "You all do a fabulous job through our Lord Jesus Christ." When Tammy started God's Hygiene Help Center, she would serve about 20 clients a month from her house. During the month of April we served 460 families including 1 school and 3 Clean Start Baskets. Tammy and Diane have to keep shopping for the most popular items: laundry detergent, Pine Glo cleaning liquid, toilet paper, paper towels, dishwashing liquid, body wash and trash bags. Thank you that Lesley, our Inventory Coordinator, will start ordering items in bulk used by both the Help Center and the warehouse. Of course, we always appreciate in kind donations of the hygiene items we distribute to clients. Donations may be left in the Exchange Center at either Upper Arlington Lutheran Church at Mill Run or The Church on Lytham Road. For large quantities, please contact us to arrange delivery to either our warehouse or the Oakland Park Help Center. Thank you! clean start baskets for phoenix Thank you to Kathryn Farrar who has volunteered to pack Clean Start Baskets. GHHC partners with Phoenix Integrated Services to give them Clean Start Baskets when clients have moved on with their lives. I just want to tell a short story of going to God's Hygiene Help Center. Be known how it has helped me along in my recovery. GHHC has blessed me with clothes, hygiene, and necessities that I'm truly blessed to receive. It's truly amazing how God works in mysterious ways through people, especially God's Hygiene Help Center. I've been truly blessed to have the Center be a part of my recovery. I feel valued, loved, and cared for. Most important I'm able to stay physically clean with the help of the Center, and I feel better about myself and my appearance. I'm truly blessed to have this Center be a part of my life. GHHC has helped me in more ways than I can explain. Stephanie God's Hygiene has made a huge difference in not only my and my children's life, but many other lives around me. It has provided me with necessities that I can't afford on a monthly basis. It's made my self esteem and my self value, as well as self worth increase because I can live my life feeling clean and refreshed daily, due to the shampoo, deodorant, and toothpaste I have received. It's also provided a way for my family to stop the spread of germs and illnesses during the outbreak Covid 19 because it's provided me with sanitizer and disinfectant wipes. God's Hygiene has impacted my familys life because its a place my children and I have grown to depend on, on a monthly basis by giving us hygiene items, free of charge, which in turn has allowed myself and my children the ability to take baths and / or showers and brush our teeth, daily. God's Hygiene is such a blessing to the less fortunate because it provides multiple hygiene resources such as shower hygiene, toilet hygiene, hand hygiene, teeth hygiene, and sickness hygiene. Jodi Kail  Jodi Kail, Phoenix resident bottoms up Thank you for the partnership with Bottoms Up Diaper Drive so that we can provide needed diapers to our clients. Their mission is "Helping single mothers provide diapers for their children." God's Hygiene Help Center is now well stocked in diapers from newborn size to size 5. Clients will be given a package of 25 diapers instead of only 12. Bottoms Up Diaper Drive was founded in August, 2018 by Tim and Jo Welsh as an outgrowth of their love for one another, their faith, and their desire to help meet the needs of families who can’t afford enough diapers to keep their children clean, dry, and healthy. Since then, Bottoms Up has delivered more than 560,000 diapers to over 70 food pantries and child care facilities in central Ohio for distribution to those in need. Bottoms Up continues to grow with very little promotion and a lot of dedication to principled charity. Diapers are collected through drives at churches, schools, and businesses or purchased through the generosity of others. Tim and Jo are grateful for the opportunity to make even a small difference in the lives of those in need. Thank you Tim and Jo for this wonderful and much needed service to our young parents! 4 Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4  Tammy's nephew, Cody Jewell, is going to become a "movie star" for a short term. A company wanted to create a video of a single parent benefitting from Bottoms Up diapers. Cody is a single parent raising his darling little girl. Tammy created a very short video which we then shared with Jo Welsh and the company. So they contacted him to create a longer professionally made video. Good luck filming Cody. We are anxious to see the finished product! pillows and more pillows Thank you to Dale Cory of The Bed Brigade. A local partner to the Bed Brigade donated 3,000 new/laundered pillows to the central ohio community service groups, including the Bed Brigade, God's Hygiene, Joseph’s Coats, HARP, Womens Recovery Center, and The Refuge. A great blessing to all. Dale called Tammy to ask if God's Hygiene could use any pillows. He invited her to come along with him OSU to pick up 300 of his 3,000 pillows! Wow! And they were new pillows. She then donated 150 to Phoenix Integrated Services, 50 to the Medina Recovery program and the last 100 to the GHHC clients. You should have seen the joy on their faces when asked, "Would you like a new pillow?" "Oh yes, I have needed a new pillow. Thank you!" 22 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23 donato's and GHHC God's Hygiene Help Center is so grateful to the Donato's on Oakland Park. Several times a month they deliver just baked pizzas to us for our volunteers. GHHC in turn provides hygiene and cleaning items to several of their employees. This month Tammy presented an appreciation certificate to their Donato's manager. 19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 welcome to our new volunteer
god's angels Tuesday we were working at GHHC a man asked Tammy, "Have you ever been robbed here?" "No, she replied. Don’t you see the angels all around the building?" The man looked up and said, "Yes I do see them! 40 feet tall! Tammy then replied, "We work for the Lord!" 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; Proverbs 3:5 God’s Hygiene Clothes Closet
BLESSING BOX KEEPS BLESSING OTHERSTammy shared with us, "My neighbor has received many people who are thanking her for the food. The Blessing Box is truly a blessing. She tells them thank the lady next door and thank Jesus.
She has received many notes and knocks on her door just saying thank you this is sent from God. People in the community need it so desperately. So many grandmothers are falling into my arms crying out for help thanking the Lord for this Blessing Box, the hygiene and the resources plus all important, the prayers." serving the community March has been an exceptionally busy month--Terry and Lesley opened up the new warehouse and are running its operation. Tammy and Diane plus our dedicated volunteers have kept things going at God's Hygiene Help Center. Tammy recruited new volunteers for our Help Center who got quick on the job training. We all had to learn how to order, shop and stock the shelves while serving our clients. One Tuesday the cars were all lined up in the parking lot patiently waiting their turn to show their ID and fill out an order form. We also regularly serve the clients receiving treatment next door at Phoenix Integrated Services and those residing in the Medina Recovery apartments on Medina Avenue, as well as a few homeless all who walk to our Help Center. Our Help Center located at 1402 Oakland Park has been serving between 31 and 66 clients each Tuesday and Thursday between 10:30am and 1:00pm. That added up to 433 clients this month. Each client receives a bag with 6 hygiene or cleaning items. So thank you to our faithful donors for your support because we all know how prices have gone up! Are you interested in volunteering at God's Hygiene Help Center on Oakland Park? We could use your help either greeting, shopping for products, stocking shelves, filling orders, or checking in clients on an iPad. Contact Tammy and also send a message with your information and hours available to serve to communications@godshygiene.org The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.” Zephaniah 3:17 welcome new volunteers Ellena Yohannes. I had the pleasure of hearing about GHHC through Pedros, a family friend of mine, and was drawn to the organization by its mission and Tammy’s story. Cleaning products, hygiene products, and toiletries are basic necessities and so being able to play a role in increasing accessibility to those items has been incredibly rewarding. Outside of GHHC, I’m a recent graduate of The Ohio State University with a B.S. in psychology. Currently, I’m a research assistant and plan to go to a graduate school program related to behavioral health. In my spare time, I like to play the piano, cook, and take walks. Ellena is a very dependable volunteer who serves every Tuesday and Thursday checking in clients on the Knack database system. She is so efficient and pleasant to work with. We are blessed that the owner of our building referred her to GHHC. Welcome Ellena!  Brenda Andracki had previously volunteered at Because School Matters. We were so happy that she is able to help us every Thursday recording incoming products and organizing stock. She brings great ideas for keeping track of inventory. Brenda and her husband Jim are active members at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church on North Broadway. Welcome Brenda! PROVIDING needed HYGIENE FOR SCHOOLSHAMILTON STEM ACADEMY It's always amazing how the community networks and communicates their needs. Officer Alesia Zacher received an email request to set up a Hygiene Closet for needed dignity items at Hamilton STEM Academy, 2047 Hamilton Avenue, Columbus, OH 43211. Since it is located in the South Linden community of Officer Alesia's precinct, she went for founder Tammy Jewell. The officer met with their staff because she is familiar with them, surveyed the space to see what kind of storage space they had. Because Tammy has so many responsibilities on her plate, several weeks passed. When Diane Hendrickson, Communications Coordinator, heard about the request, she called the school to speak to the school nurse. One of our new volunteers started counting out and packing 25 items each into a box: toothbrush and toothpaste, boys' and girls' deodorant, bar of soap, pocket tissues and small hand sanitizer. Officer Patty Meyers came right over to GHHC to pick up the box and she and Officer Zacher delivered to the Hamilton STEM. God's Hygiene then received this note: Diane, thank you so much for connecting with our team this week to coordinate the drop-off of donations today! These donations go a long way for our students and we sincerely appreciate you thinking of our students and families. Please feel free to connect with me as well if you have further questions. My role at Hamilton falls under One Linden Community Plan under the Support Student Success bucket. I engage the community, school, and families in an effort of refocusing public schools as the center of the Linden community. I also manage the resource room inside the school building and receive donations. I am happy to work with you again! Warmest regards, Javier Negrete Jr School-Family-Community Coordinator, Hamilton STEM One Linden Schools Student Success Initiative College of Social Work | Community and Youth Collaborative Institute 216 Stillman Hall, 1947 College Road, Columbus, OH 43210 (828) 404-4876 negrete.13@osu.edu cayci.osu.edu What a blessed team! Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me. John 14:1
Linden McKinley stem academyWhen Kathryn Farrar heard from Tammy about the need for feminine hygiene at Linden McKinley STEM Academy, she stepped up to help. Thank you to Kathryn and her granddaughters for shopping. They bought 30 sets of feminine pads, 30 bars of lavender soap for the young ladies, 30 women's deodorants, 60 toothbrushes, 30 bars of soap for the young men, and 30 men's deodorants. Kathryn delivered them to God's Hygiene and volunteers loaded them into Tammy's SUV named "Mercy". GHHC also donated 60 toothpastes to these items. Kathryn has also offered to shop for and build all of our Clean Start Baskets! Paul Sparks and Jan Roberts of Kindway/Embark along with all of us at God's Hygiene Help Center are so grateful for wonderful volunteers such as Kathryn and her granddaughters. What a blessing to teach at a young age about paying it forward! "Linden McKinley has a large population of female students. As the school nurse I struggle to keep the supplies they need to meet their personal needs. I was excited to hear about God's Hygiene and reached out immediately. All the supplies provided will be put to good use and greatly appreciated. " Sarah Moore RN, BSN, School Nurse the shepard school Officer Alesia Zacher emailed us this message: The other school in Linden that I mentioned that really needs help desperately is The Shepard School. I had previously spoken to Tammy about this school. The school is located in Linden, 51’s cruiser district and the address is 873 Walcutt. My Chief and I along with several supervisors met with them Monday evening at 5:30pm. Please reach out to them, since I have previously committed GHHC’s support based on my discussions with Tammy. The Shepard School by Eagle Community Schools of Ohio is a technology based high performing charter school that opened in Fall 2021. The Shepard School by ECS will replicate the model created by Eagle Academy Public Charter Schools in Washington, DC www.eagleacademypcs.org The Shepard School by ECS offers a FREE technology based educational program that serves 325 students in grades K-6. The Shepard School by ECS’s mission is to build the foundation for a promising future for all students in a rich, robust learning environment that fosters creativity and problem solving abilities. We emphasize cognitive, social and emotional growth by engaging children as active learners in an inclusive learning environment. Shepard’s mission is rooted in the unwavering belief that all students regardless of zip code or ethnicity deserve high quality educational choice. Meet Amber Estis, founding principal. So as Communications Coordinator, Diane called the school and connected with their Administrative Assistant, LeMoyne Jackson. When told we could donate a box of hygiene to the school, he replied, "That would be great, thank you for the box of supplies. We appreciate it and it will definitely be put to good use." GHHC volunteers got busy counting out and packing a box with 25 toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, sample lotions and sample body wash. Thank you to Officer Alesia and Officer Patty Meyer for picking up the box and delivering to the school. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:17 windsor stem academy  Windsor STEM Academy is located in South Linden at 1219 E. 12th Avenue, across the street from the Douglas Community Center. Diane heard they also needed hygiene since a number of their students are homeless. So Diane searched on the school website and connected with Jayla Richardson their new Family Ambassador. She came to our Help Center to meet Tammy and pick up their box of hygiene. Windsor also received bars of soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and hand cream. After the other boxes of hygiene had already been delivered to the schools, a volunteer saw on the shelf sanitizing wipes and hand sanitizer gel which had been donated to GHHC. We knew the school would definitely benefit from these added items. in kind donationsThank you to the generous members of UALC at Mill Run and Lytham Road who make in kind donations at the Exchange Center for God's Hygiene. The items most needed are small laundry detergents, body wash, deodorant, toilet paper and paper towels. We also appreciate receiving devotionals. This month we received boxes of hygiene wipes, new socks, kids' gloves, some jackets, and blankets. We usually are not able to accept used blankets, but this month we had clients who needed them. Another Sunday we were blessed with all the items placed in a Clean Start Basket: laundry detergent, toilet cleaner, all purpose cleaner, paper towels, toilet paper, shampoo, body wash, and more. Thank you!! We do not accept half full bottles of lotion or shampoo. If you have a large quantity of items to donate, please let Tammy or Diane know or email Diane at communications@godshygine.org We accept deliveries at 1402 Oakland Park Avenue (parking lot next to Donato's) on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 10 am - 1 pm. You have filled my heart with great joy. Psalm 4:7 phoenix and god's hygiene When Tammy greets our clients, she talks to them about their needs and if they need any resources. She then discovers who needs further help to treat an addiction. It is such a blessing that she can refer them right next door to Phoenix Integrated Health Services. Burt Dhira, CEO of Phoenix in Linden, is so grateful to receive new clients to help find recovery.
This month Tammy was pleased to see again a woman she worked with from 30 years ago. They hugged and cried. She was delighted to share her testimony with Angelique how she escaped that lifestyle through the mercy of Jesus Christ and constant invitations of Diane to attend church. Her friend had been in 6 different rehab programs. Finally the Phoenix is the first to really help her. Burt is encouraging her to volunteer with GHHC and she is very excited about that. GHHC volunteers will surround her with love and prayer as we do our other volunteers. I want to personally thank Tammy Jewell, President and Founder of God's Hygiene Help Center. Her generosity and loving spirit make me fell cared for and loved. Thank you for helping me in a time of need. Sincerely, Angelique Caldwell On their website is the Phoenix Mission: To adapt treatment to the changing face of Addiction and Mental Health. Treating our patients with the highest respect and care to embody their ability to regain their body, life, community, family and soul. To give our patients a sense of direction, when they have been lost. Giving a “Light of Hope” , where darkness has embraced their life and mind. Their patients in turn regularly come to God's Hygiene as clients to get needed hygiene items. 5Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart And do not rely on your own insight or understanding. 6 In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him, And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way. Proverbs 3:5-6 Compiled by Diane Hendrickson, Communications Coordinator Comments appreciated. GHHC New Office and Warehouse Space  GHHC is growing and expanding very quickly, thanks to our friends and supporters!! We have outgrown our 600 square foot warehouse space on Oakland Park Avenue. After much prayer and board approval, we started looking for a larger warehouse space. God answered our prayers with an amazing space!!! We have signed the lease and will have our new office and small warehouse space on the Advanced Business Center on March 1, 2022. The space is 2400 square feet and exactly what we need currently. It is near Roberts Road and 270 and is about 20 minutes away from each of our help centers. God knew exactly what we needed, and He provided! A huge THANK YOU to Robin Lorms for working to find our space and negotiating our lease and to Nancy Gillette, our board chairperson, for reviewing and signing the lease. This is truly a gift from God as it is the perfect size and location for our growth needs. PRAISE and THANKS to God for His continued mighty blessings on GHHC! We are looking for gently used office furniture to set up our new office space. Can you help? Email Terry Starr at executivedirector@godshygiene.org THANK YOU!! Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 1 Peter 1:3 Getting our Office and Warehouse Space Ready  We are so grateful to Jim Gericke and Paul Sparks for helping us to have new carpeting for our office space. The old carpet was extremely dirty and worn and their kind, generous hearts provided exactly what we needed for our new space. We will begin moving into our space the week of March 1. Please pray for GHHC as we grow and expand. God is blessing us with SO many opportunities to grow, serve more neighbors in need and partner with area churches who are interested in becoming donation sites and supporters. Gospel of Mark Project: Jesus, God’s Servant During the recent holiday season, Emerson Fleming, UALC member and 5th grader at Worthington Christian Elementary School, completed a service project for God’s Hygiene Help Center. Emerson’s class was studying the Gospel of Mark and learning about how Jesus came to earth to be a servant, showing us how to live a life that serves others. The students were tasked with completing a service project within the community and then presenting their project at school. Being familiar with GHHC and Tammy’s story through church, Emerson easily chose GHHC for her service project, specifically selecting Purses of Love. Emerson collected donated purses from friends and family members during the project and filled them with hygiene products to be donated for women in need. For her presentation in class, Emerson not only described her completed project for Purses of Love, she also introduced God’s Hygiene Help Center and its mission to her classmates by showing GHHC’s video in class. It was her wish that Tammy’s story about hygiene, dignity, and hope would especially hit home with her 5th grade classmates. Emerson and her family look forward to serving God’s Hygiene Help Center again in the future. “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness” (Jeremiah 31:3, NIV). ghhc and festa partner together Erin Arnett, Donor Relations Coordinator of Festa, emailed us: Hi team! I have a family I am helping to assist through our work here at Festa. The school social worker reached out and connected us. The list of needs is high, but they mentioned that they do not have hygiene items or even bath towels. Could you assist this family with these items? It is a single mother with 7 dependents living with her. Ages 6-20. Boys and girls. Please let me know the best way to get the ball rolling and THANK you for all the love you pour into our community! Also, please note the family speaks Spanish (the older children are “okay” with English but not great.) Thank you! Tammy and the volunteers thought yes we can help them. So right before closing the Help Center, we sprung into action and packed a bag of basic hygiene and Diane picked up a basket of towels from Tammy. We were able to deliver to the Festa office that afternoon so the family did not need to wait any longer for basic needs. 13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13  meet the linden angels Our neighbors have nicknamed us "The Linden Angels" because we are able to help so many in our community receive dignity through hygiene and personal care products. We would love to add you as another angel. We have volunteer positions serving our clients at our hygiene help center located at 1402 Oakland Park on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. We also have positions available for entering information into our database and for picking up products and delivering them to our warehouse and help centers. Just complete the simple volunteer application. We have been serving many neighbors in need and actually served 100 clients in one day! We need your help to serve with us. You will also have lots of fun and be well fed! May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 SPECIAL HELP FOR A SPECIAL LADY IN NEED Charmaine Campbell is a Linden community member who is starting a new life and is working hard to provide a good home for her children. She moved into a nice home with the help of the City of Columbus. She has received some help in setting up her home including beds for her children through the Upper Arlington Lutheran Church's "Bed Brigade." One of our monthly donors asked if there was a special need as they were looking to help someone during the Christmas season. We asked Charmaine if there was something that she could use. She excitedly shared that she did not have a washer or dryer, so she had to go to the laundry mat with her 4 children. Our donor was very excited to be able to help Charmaine. Tammy and Terry went to Lowe's and found a great deal on a very nice washer and dryer. We paid for them and for their delivery and installation. On the day that they were delivered, we greeted Charmaine with a Clean Start Basket filled with hygiene and cleaning products and a big bag of new towels. Charmaine was overjoyed!!! She was praising God and giving thanks for this wonderful gift. And Tammy was filled with joy as she has memories of her life in dirty clothes as they lived without a washer and dryer. GIVING DIGNITY AND HOPE THROUGH HYGIENE WITH THE COMPASSION OF JESUS! 2 We always thank God for all of you and continually mention you in our prayers. 3 We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. 4 For we know, brothers and sisters[a] loved by God, that he has chosen you, 5 because our gospel came to you not simply with words but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction. You know how we lived among you for your sake. 1 Thessalonians 1:2-5 new COMMUNITY CENTER Dodge Recreation Center will be a Hygiene Help Center to be set up in February. We welcomed them to GHHC with 20 hygiene closet bags as an extra way for them to kick off opening the help center. Welcome to Center Manager: Nikki Van Dine. Hilltop neighbors in need can visit Dodge Community Center located at 667 Sullivant Ave. Columbus, OH 43215 during hours they are open Monday through Saturday to pick up a bag of hygiene every 30 days. But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from You, and of Your own we have given You. 1 Chronicles 29:14 hygiene closetsWe are excited to be implementing our new Hygiene Closets program. We are partnering with 5 local area organizations who serve our neighbors in need and giving them pre-filled hygiene bags to give out to their clients. January bags are filled with personal care items for men or for women. The February bags will be filled with hygiene and cleaning supplies.The Hygiene Closets program came about as we prayed how we could help more people have dignity and hope through hygiene despite the pandemic. During the challenging days when the community centers were closed and it was so difficult for our neighbors in need to get the hygiene and personal care products that they needed, we prayed for God's guidance in finding ways to get these products to the people who needed them.
We kept our Hygiene Help Center on Oakland Park open with our drive through only model. We do have some walk-up clients, but they are always very understanding of our safe and protective procedures for serving them. We have been serving many clients and the number is growing every month! We are serving over 400 clients each month just at our Oakland Park Help Center. You shall open your hand wide to your brother; to your poor and your needy, in your land. Deuteronomy 15:11 tammy changed a life In 2018 an acquaintance brought his friend named Johnny to Tammy's door. He wore dirty clothes, terrible teeth and was on crack. Tammy invited them in anyways. Johnny said, "My life is over." But Tammy encouraged him to go to Faith Mission. She gave him hygiene, a rosary, a copy of Our Daily Bread and also shared her story. "This is how I changed my life and you can do it too!" January 2022 this same man drives up in a new white Cadillac. Johnny is now a productive citizen with a job, attends church, has new teeth, volunteers, and is no longer "high." Tammy cried hearing how his life had turned around. He didn't need to come back to see Tammy to share but he wanted to tell her how her testimony changed his life. God took over from there. One person can make a difference in someone else's life. virginia's storyVirginia had been estranged from her family for 7 years because she was strung out on drugs. She had never lived alone since she had "special needs." Two years ago Tammy had met Virginia when she was getting food out of the Blessing Box. She shared how her "boyfriend" had been abusing her, got her addicted to drugs and spending all of her social security check for two years. Tammy referred her to Choices and Virginia turned her life around. Her caseworker helped her obtain a good job and get her moved into her own apartment. At last she was comfortable living alone on her own God's Hygiene was so glad to help Virginia with hygiene and some other items. God gave her a new toaster to enjoy in her new apartment. Congratulations Virginia! When you are suffering, your need for Me is greater than ever. The more you choose to come near Me, affirming your trust in Me, the more you can find hope in My unfailing Love. from Jesus Today page 6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.—1 Peter 5:6-7 5th grader donatesThank you to this amazing young lady who shared about God's Hygiene Help Center with her 5th grade class. She collected 10 Purses of Love stuffed full of hygiene and donated them to Tammy on Sunday. One can never be too young (or old for that matter) to share our mission to provide hope and dignity to those in need with the compassion of Jesus. Thank you! welcome new volunteers This month we were so glad to welcome Kathy Bullock and she shared this message. I really enjoyed working along side so many Christian ladies a couple days ago! Such a worthwhile organization! Tammy has an unbelievable story that pulls at my heart strings. God has gotten hold of her in a mighty way, for sure. I first found out about this outreach through Terry. She and I belong to something called CCL that meets once a month. Terry has talked about GHHC and its mission and our CCL group has done year-end contributions several times. I have been an after school caretaker to my 2 grandkids until they moved to Worthington, so now I have more time to volunteer at this very important place. As for my background, I was a nurse for 45 years, 29 of those in the ER at OSU. I met my husband at OSU in 1970. We had 3 sons together, all live locally. A step son lives near Philadelphia. My home church is Grace Polaris, but I monitor a WOW Bible Study at UALC. I love to cook, garden, walk, attend OSU football games and spoil my grandkids.  Scott Milliken moved into the home of his aunt, Diane Hendrickson, this month. He has previously received hygiene and knew Tammy. So Diane brought Scott along with her when she volunteered at God's Hygiene Help Center. He even helped prepare the chicken and noodles to be served to the volunteers for lunch. Lesley made Scott feel welcome by putting him right to work helping to unload detergent and bleach from her vehicle into our temporary warehouse. All the volunteers appreciated his being there and helping out wherever needed--greeting the clients and getting their ID's or helping to move products. Tammy said, "We have been praying for a man to come volunteer. We are so thankful for Scott. He is such a big help. When Diane is away to Florida, I will gladly pick him up to work at the Help Center." Scott says, "It's good to give back to the loved ones who God has placed in my life. God bless all of you women volunteers. I can feel for you now that I see all that you do when volunteering. Love, Scott" Welcome Scott! happy birthday Tammy! 6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 2 Corinthians 9:6-8
Merry Christmas Friends of God's Hygiene Help Center Despite COVID impacting our world in a huge way, God's Hygiene Help Center hasn’t changed its mission of serving our neighbors in need. More and more people are coming to us for personal hygiene and cleaning needs. We offer that – and SO much more. In fact, last week, our Oakland Park Help Center provided hygiene for 92 clients in a 3-hour period, a new record for one day. And we continue to serve over 400 clients each month.

Tammy Jewell and Terry Starr  IN MEMORY OF TIM ROBISON Our hearts are heavy and our tears are flowing as we mourn the loss of our dear sweet friend and supporter Tim Robison. We celebrate his life as a man who truly made a difference and changed the world for the better. In lieu of flowers Tim’s family has asked that their friends consider a gift to GHHC. Donations can be made online with the “In Memory of Tim Robison” button or by mailing a check to: God's Hygiene Help Center PO Box 20081 Columbus, OH 43220 Tim and his beautiful wife Tara have been longtime supporters of God’s Hygiene Help Center. Their love, prayers and donations helped GHHC grow from a small hygiene closet to a larger and expanding nonprofit which now helps several communities with hygiene help centers and hygiene closets in the Columbus area and is growing to serve the needs of hundreds more. We will be opening 2 new hygiene help centers next year and creating hygiene closets, partnering with local churches and organizations, so we can reach more neighbors in need in our communities. We were so blessed by and loved Tim and we will miss him greatly. May God’s love give us comfort and peace during this sad time. Thank you! Church Donation Coordinators GHHC welcomes our new Church Donation Coordinators, Steve and Cheryl Heavilin, to our team! Beginning in January 2022, they will be contacting area churches about becoming local donation sites for collecting hygiene, personal care, and cleaning products for GHHC. The coordinators will be responsible for setting up and managing the church collection sites as well as coordinating volunteers who will be picking up the donations and bringing them to our warehouse. We are excited to have Steve and Cheryl on our team! They will a great asset as we work to improve and expand our collection of hygiene, personal care and cleaning products from area churches and organizations. Thank you Steve and Cheryl for joining our team! welcome to families from AfghanistanDave Mann, Pastor for Internationals and Mission sent this message: We have a significant opportunity before us with the arrival in central Ohio of hundreds of Afghan refugees. They will come with virtual nothing. So CRIS (Community Refugee and Immigration Services) is imploring churches to step up and form “Welcome Teams” of 5-10 people each to befriend soon-to-arrive Afghan families. I am hoping that UALC can form several such teams. Members of Upper Arlington Lutheran Church responded and have formed 4 teams of volunteers to assist families arriving in the Columbus area from Afghanistan. GHHC staff were happy to pack 4 bags of hygiene and cleaning items which Diane delivered to the team leaders at The Church on Lytham and The Church at Mill Run. For more info, click here: https://www.crisohio.org/support-afghan-refugees sharing the christmas spiritTammy's sister lives at Whetstone Care Center. A case manager shared with her about a dedicated employee who needed a little assistance. So together several other people helped provide: a Christmas tree, $20 for ornaments, a food box, bag of hygiene from GHHC, and $100 for Christmas presents. Thank you to the Bed Brigade she now has 4 beds with pillows. sheets, blankets, and a Bible. It usually takes 3-4 months to get a bed. Tammy pleaded with Dale Cory that all the children were sleeping on the floor. Dale said, "Oh, Tammy you really put me in a position. I have to help you." Tammy was also able to provide her with a lamp, dishes, and silverware. Another woman named C. Campbell was also helped. She moved from California to Columbus with her five children. They did not have enough money to bring her furniture with her. Tammy's friend Ann Glove, who is a case worker for HIV/AIDS clients, told Tammy about her. GHHC gave her 5 sets of hats, gloves, Christmas stockings and 5 bags of hygiene. Then Dr. CeCe Harris got her a housing voucher, food, shoes and coats for her children. Using our resources, help of others and most importantly Christ, we were able to provide Christmas for these two families.    I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak His praises. I will boast only in the Lord; let all who are helpless take heart. Come, let us tell of the Lord's greatness; let us exalt His name together. Psalm 34:1-3 kits of kindness from odwThank you to the generosity of employees of ODW Logistics who packed 450 Kits of Kindness filled with shampoo, body wash, and more. GHHC staff got busy sorting them into large trash bags. We distributed them to our Columbus Police Linden liaisons, Douglas Community Center, Far East Community Center, Dr. CeCe Harris and Helping Hands Free Clinic. Columbus Parks and Recreation is having a community giveaway on December 22 where these Kits of Kindness will be distributed along with food and Christmas gifts. Manney Clark, Douglas Center Manager replied, "We have been giving out the hygiene items that you blessed us with. We had a grab and go Christmas walk through. We gave all of the participants hygiene with their presents. Thank you so much from the South Linden community." Girl Scouts share hygieneInstead of asking for help, godshygiene@gmail.com received this message: Hi, My name is Kanai Robinson I am a Senior in Girl Scouts of Ohio Heartland Troop #2462 in Columbus, Ohio. My troop has collected toiletries to donate to your help center. These items have been collected and we would like to drop them off at your organization. What are the days and times that we can drop these items off? Diane met Kanai and her mother at our Oakland Park Help Center and shared she was also in Brownies and the Girl Scouts. We are proud that Kanai as a high schooler is still active in Scouts. GHHC was so happy to accept her donations of dignity. Thank you Kanai and your Girl Scout Troop #2462 for supporting GHHC. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, Ephesians 3:20 other IN KIND DONATIONSThank you to our loyal supporters who donate hygiene items to us. Always needed are Bibles, Christian and devotional books (not fiction). During the winter months we continue Project Warm and appreciate receiving adult and children's hats, gloves, and scarves. A few years ago Tammy did a presentation at Linworth United Methodist Church and the ladies are still collecting and bringing donations: including gently used coats which were immediately given away. Julia Jewell brought cases of adult diapers which we were able to donate to an assisted living facility. Baby diapers are provided by a partner organization. Hygiene items most needed: cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, bleach, toilet paper, and paper towels. These donations may be left in the Exchange Center at either Mill Run or Lytham Road Churches. If large donations, please deliver to GHHC Help Center Warehouse at 1402 Oakland Park Avenue (next to Donato's) on a Tuesday or Thursday between 10 am - 1 pm.
Thank you to Holly Wilson who donated a large bag of scarves and hats sets for children that she knitted herself. They are super soft and made with love. Tammy immediately shared with people in her neighborhood. Sue Zerman stopped by to replenish the Blessing Box. Tammy was able to give her 2 pairs of boots, 30 pairs of socks, pair of tennis shoes, and 3 sets of soft scarves and matching hats to take to Van Buren Center and the homeless. Earlier Officer Zacher had given Tammy 20 thermal shirts which she passed on to Sue to distribute. Sue has met several families just only affording the rent to stay in their homes. She and her sister are able to cook and deliver hot meals to them twice a week and bring them clothing. Elizabeth Adams, our Volunteer Coordinator, happened to share with her neighbor about serving with God's Hygiene. This morning that neighbor delivered all of these hygiene items including toothpaste, deodorant, all sizes of diapers and more donated by her small group! Thank you for sharing the Christmas spirit with us! purses of love
  Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. Psalm 95 Praising God! Giving Thanks!Dear Friends and Supporters of God's Hygiene Help Center, What an incredible year!! Despite COVID, we were able to continue serving our neighbors in need through the pandemic. And the number of people and families that we are serving is growing every month! We are serving around 400 people at our Oakland Park Help Center and another 100 at our other help centers. Our first-ever fundraising event, Divine Dignity, was a HUGE success, thanks to generous supporters like you. More than 200 people have responded, and together we raised more than $90,000. These funds are already being used. We are opening 2 more God’s Hygiene Help Centers in Columbus Recreation Centers, and we are implementing our new model of opening hygiene closets in local area churches and non-profit organizations who are also serving our neighbors in need. When Tammy Jewell, our founder, answered God’s call to start God’s Hygiene Help Center, she knew firsthand what it felt like to be ashamed and humiliated. Please take 3 minutes to watch this video "GHHC'S STORY" that shares Tammy’s story and how God’s Hygiene has transformed countless lives in the past ten years. During this Season of Giving, would you consider giving a gift to GHHC? It is safe and secure to make an online donation. A one time or monthly Dignity Donor gift is easy to do with your credit card or bank transfer at our website: God's Hygiene Help Center Or send a check to: GHHC PO Box 20081 Columbus, OH 43220 We are deeply grateful that you have chosen to support God’s Hygiene Help Center. There are many organizations that are worthy of your investment, and we are humbled that you are joining us to offer hope and dignity to our neighbors who lack the ability to get hygiene products. Tammy never says no to a person in need, and God’s Hygiene Help Center was born from that dream. In fact, she has seen a future that includes a warehouse as long as a city block! We are indeed making plans to expand, thanks to your support. As we celebrated Thanksgiving, we gave thanks for our supporters for making a gift to God’s Hygiene Help Center. We praise God and give thanks for you, our friends, and supporters! We are so blessed by your love, support, and donations. Tammy Jewell Terry Starr President and Founder Executive Director GHHC WALL OF HONOR ceremony We want to honor and give recognition to special people who have been an incredible blessing to GHHC. There are two men who were honored at our Wall of Honor ceremony on November 16, 2021. Harley Bratton moved back home to Ohio from Largo, Florida in 2015 to Iive with his daughter Diane Hendrickson. Diane become a widow in 2014 and Harley's sweetheart of 32 years had passed away. Tammy came to the house to visit Diane and play games. When Harley learned how she was serving her neighbors out of her home in the Linden community and her story, he became an avid supporter of Tammy. Harley was an integral part of the growth of GHHC in the early years. Tammy says, "He was God send to me and this ministry." Harley became her mentor and advisor--shorten your story, shorten your thank you notes, keep the peoples' attention and lighten up. When he read the Columbus Dispatch article that Columbus Parks and Recreation planned to build a new community center in the Linden area, Harley said, Tammy that is where GHHC needs to be. Diane get on the computer and find out who to contact." Terry and Diane made an appointment with Dr. CeCe Harris and that is how GHHC began having hygiene at the Douglas Community Center in south Linden. Tim Robison has been a supporter of Tammy and GHHC for many years with his wife Tara. Tim and Tara became involved as board members in 2018. In January 2020, as GHHC reorganized with a new business model and new board, Tim agreed to be our Board Chairman. He was dedicated to serving and supporting GHHC and worked diligently with Terry, the Executive Director, to establish and grow our organization. Tim retired as the Board Chairman due to health issues in February 2021. He and Tara continue to love, support and encourage Tammy and our staff. We look forward to adding more honorees in the future as special people make a difference in our organization. HYGIENE CLOSETSTerry Starr has asked our Resources Manager Chris Bumpass to be the coordinator for the hygiene closets. She has graciously accepted this position. She is an amazing lady with great skills and experience in retail and product management. She will do a wonderful job! GHHC has received 20 requests to open up Hygiene Closets in some churches and health clinics. We plan to start with opening 6 Closets hopefully in December or January. serving the homeless with your samples Thank you to all of you who regularly collect and donate hotel or sample sizes of hygiene items. Each month Sue and Dick Zerman come to the Help Center to pick up 50 Blessing Bags. They hand deliver these bags along with sandwiches to the homeless living under the bridges in The Bottoms on the west side of Columbus. Included in these bags are shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, deodorant and razor. Because of Project Warm, this month we were able to also give them 2 dozen hats, gloves and socks. We have a request as we enter the winter season, we need unused travel size items. Also please consider donating tubes of chapstick and lip balm which is frequently requested by our clients. Thanks to the great job Bonnie Johnston has done organizing our books, we are also giving out Christian books and Bibles. We will gladly accept any of your Christian books you have already read. Please no fiction books. Thank you. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 warm the hearts to reach the homeless NBBA Street Ministries www.facebook.com/Notbybreadalonestreetministries <nbba2020@outlook.com> recently messaged us about their Outreach Event on Saturday, November 13 at Jericho’s Light Club. For the last four years NBBA Street Ministries has done Warm The Hearts to provide hats, mittens and scarves as well as personal hygiene products for the homeless and less fortunate on the West Side of Columbus. This year they did this at their monthly night we volunteer at Jericho’s. They requested they could use any donations we may have towards this. If you need personal references Royal and or Monica at Jericho’s will happily give my husband Steve Herrada and myself a reference if you need it. Attached is a link to the Facebook post for this event. https://www.facebook.com/1658502997754923/posts/3237758236496050/?d=n H.A.R.P. STOCKINGSHelping Appalachian Rural People (H.A.R.P.) located in Caldwell, Ohio, is another mission for Upper Arlington Lutheran Church (UALC) HARP helps the local folks in Southeast Ohio and one of their projects is to give out Christmas Stocking to children 12 years old and younger. Each stocking contains a hat, a pair of gloves, Christmas pencils, as well as several toys and small books. Filling the stockings is always a fun project for a variety of volunteers. Becky Harrass of UALC has organized this project for a number of years and starts shopping for bargains right after Christmas each year. Diane joined Becky's family and friends helped with the packing on Sunday, November 7. Thank you Becky for donating extra items such as women's, men's and kids' socks and girls' hand cream to God's Hygiene to bless our clients this holiday season. We are blessed to partner together. kindware blessing One of our volunteers Elizabeth visited St. Brenden's Craft Show. She came across the booth for Kindware. Kindware is a collection of hand-crafted one-of-a-kind pieces made by the incarcerated men and women at The Ohio Reformatory for Women at Marysville, Ohio and the Marion Correctional Institution at Marion, Ohio. Proceeds from donations of these items provide resources to support our men and women of Kindway’s Embark Program on their journey from incarceration to independence. Watch short video how this jewelry is created. Elizabeth started to admire the beautifully created pieces and selected ornaments and jewelry. Tina, the woman managing the booth, asked her if she knew about Kindway. Elizabeth replied, "Yes, I volunteer with God's Hygiene Help Center and we pack Clean Start Basket for newly released women and men through Kindway/Embark." Tina shared, "I received a basket and it really had blessed me." Hearing this really made Elizabeth's week knowing she was serving with such a worthwhile organization as God's Hygiene Help Center. tammy listens to Holy SpiritOn Sunday morning I woke up excited. Jesus told me, "Come on. You have a new sweater to wear to church." That wasn't the reason at all that I was woken. But I was tired and didn't want to get up. But Jesus knows me, "Get up! You have a new sweater." So I got up started to get dressed but not wearing the new sweater. The Holy Spirit nudged me about the lady named Lisa in the Flower Department at Krogers North Broadway. She needs a coat, hat and gloves. So I listened but I didn't want to embarrass her since she had not asked me for the coat. So I put the heavy coat into "Mercy" and drove to Krogers. I walked into the store and talked to Lisa. "Oh yes! I really could use a heavy coat. I have to work outside with the flowers and have nothing." Tammy walked back to her car to retrieve the heavy coat to give to her. Lisa was freezing so Tammy also ordered her a Starbucks coffee. The Starbucks associate asked if Tammy was on her way to church. "Oh yes!" She started to cry and said, "I want to go to church, too but I have sinned too much. I feel dirty and unworthy because I have sinned so much. I have already been baptized but have to work every Sunday." Tammy hugged her and said, "Your Father is waiting on you. He loves you. Come home. Come to church." Out of no where, an UALC member called and asked "Could you use 5 new coats?" Tammy replied, "Oh my yes, the need is so huge." So Tammy was so glad that again she had listened to the Holy Spirit. She planned to deliver one of those coats and a Bible the next week to the Starbucks lady at Krogers. volunteers neededWe feel so blessed that several people have contacted Terry Starr, our Executive Director, about wanting to volunteer. They will start after the holidays in January 2022. If you ask any of our current volunteers, we have so much fun serving.
