Its hard to believe that it is already time to start thinking about Christmas! Yet here we are!! For those that are new, and since we have been quiet a while let's get caught up!!
Hellens Children is an outreach program through Immanuel Lutheran Church in Comfort Tx. We work anonymously with our local school district to gather information alongside of Kendall County Blue Santa we do our best to make sure every child has a little something to open during Christmas.
Hellens Children was started by Hellen Meyer, a retired schoolteacher. Her husband Bill has worked hard to keep her cherished organization going in her memory.
During Hellens time in the classroom she noticed a few things and saw that some kids were wearing the same clothes over and over, it broke her heart. Hellen reached out to a few friends, together they supplied several families a few Christmas gifts for the kids. Their goal was to make sure each one got a complete set of clothing. Shoes, socks, pants, underwear, shirt, toy and at least one sweet treat. The program has grown over the years, after snowmeggeden of '21 we have added a jacket or hoodie. The numbers have changed through the years but the spirit continues to grow! We are a non profit program and every dine goes to supplying local children with clothing when needed. Throughout the school year we will help the school by supplying clothes for the little ones still potty training.
As we are quickly approaching the Christmas season, we will be holding a bake sale and be out in the community looking for donations, be on the look out!!! If you are able to donate one way is through a donation link on Immanuel Lutheran Church website, We accept checks, cash or Venmo. You can leave at the church office or reach out to Holly Grenwelge 210-748-7800 to make arrangements. If you would like to donate baked goods for the sale please be watching for updates in the next few days.
Thank you for your support!!
