KPMG - you do such good work! Yesterday KPMG not only came and served by sorting donations but they also brought along beautiful new books. Our Book Nook is always full of wonder and imagination because of sweet donors who know the value of all kids having the opportunity to have their very own books. We truly appreciate these very special friends from KPMG and a company who supports their employees with volunteer opportunities.

Alpha Delta Kappa, a teachers organization, gave Helen’s the opportunity to share about the mission of Helen’s Hope Chest at their State conference this year. In addition to collecting shoes, clothing and hygiene items, they gave a gift of $600 to keep our boutique stocked. Teachers may leave the classroom but their hearts never do.
