Helping Hands Bags
A unique Partnership benefiting many
In February of 2016 Living Loud launched our Helping Hands Program.
We reached out to two organizations that we felt could mutually benefit each other, Aspiro and St. Vincent Children's Hospital. Clients of Aspiro, Inc. Day Services Program began to assemble bags with items supplied by Living Loud through donations and funds raised from Jordan's Walk & Roll.
Students in a special education program at Menominee High School tied fleece blankets to be given with the bags.
The young adults from Aspiro then delivered the bags to St. Vincent Children's Hospital where they are given out to families who have unexpected or emergency stays at the hospital. There are separate bags made for parents and children of all ages. In the first 4 months of our program over 100 bags were delivered to St. Vincents.
We are extremely excited about the direction our Helping Hands program is moving. In 2018 we are expanding to other organizations, including homeless shelters in Eastern Wisconsin. Our partnership with Aspiro, Inc and St. Vincent's Children's Hospital will remain intact.
Thanks to a very generous grant our program will be funded in part by the Green Bay Packers Foundation. We have also been blessed to receive donations and gifts of money from many individuals and companies in our area. Our hope is to have 1000 bags filled and delivered in the next year!
