helping community membersA lady who had lost her husband and has a heart condition called Tammy Tammy usually will not deliver items to people because of high risk, but she made an exception for this senior citizen who was so grateful to receive needed hygiene items. Another day Tammy was shopping at Aldi's and noticed a pregnant young mom. "Do you need help or hygiene or resources?" Yes! she said. The next day she was our first client of the day who visited our Oakland Park Help Center. Thank you to Carol T. for donating 2 dozen Disney comforters and curtains. You know how to bless the children and families in our community. More handbags were donated to GHHC so our great volunteers again filled them up with some hygiene items and Teresa Lauderdale came to pick them up for her outreach. This visit she and Tammy had a chance to meet and visit. So ladies, please contact Terry Starr when you clean out your closet of discarded purses. Thank you to our super volunteer Bonnie Johnston. As an auxiliary member of The Gideons, she is able to give out Bibles. We will gladly accept any Christian books you have finished reading. 13 Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. 14 Do everything in love. 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 phoenix integrated healthStaff from Phoenix Integrated Health came to meet with Terry Starr and Andrea. They plan to partner with GHHC and open up an office in the house located in front of our warehouse. Currently Phoenix has locations in Dublin, Grove City, Ashville, Carroll and Washington Court House. It will be a blessing to the Linden community.
