Our community is AMAZING! Every year we collect school supplies for our students headed back to school. EVERY year our community rises to the occasion and delivers bags and boxes of supplies to us. Thank you community for caring for our students! Thank you also to our faithful volunteers who helped deliver the supplies today in preparation for the Back to School Bash on Thursday! Well done ALL!!!

NEED VEGGIES? Helping Hands has been blessed with tons of fresh vegetables: cucumbers, yellow squash, green beans, zucchini, etc. We want to pass them along so for this afternoon and tomorrow (August 4 and 5) our families may come and get as many vegetables as they can use without the visit counting towards a shopping or bread/pastry visit. We hope to see you soon :-)

📣 We are ONE WEEK away from opening our NEW Hope Resource Center located inside the Sandy Valley Wellness Center!

Starting May 7th, we will be open on the 1st & 3rd Thursday of each month from 8 am - 10 am. Our Hope Card Program allows families to stop in once a month to receive FREE personal care and household products. You must apply to the program first in order to receive resources.

If you are a first time family and not a current Hope Card holder, either apply first at https://bridgepointcs.org/essentials or stop in during our Resource Center hours to meet with a staff member. See below for a list of documents to bring with you.

Current Hope Card Families, be sure to bring your Hope Card with you and any bottles that need refilled! Keep in mind, you may only visit the Sandy Valley OR Canton South location once per month.

Diaper distribution is open to anyone and you do not need to be a Hope Card Family to receive diapers, wipes or period supplies. You may only visit the Sandy Valley OR Canton South Resource Center once per month for diapers.
