Helping Hands Bags
A unique Partnership benefiting many
In February of 2016 we were ready to launch our Helping Hands Program.
Living Loud, Inc. reached out to two organizations that we felt could mutually benefit each other. Clients of Aspiro, Inc. Day Services Program began to assemble bags with items supplied by Living Loud through donations and funds raised from our Annual 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 2017 we hope to expand to other organizations and hospitals in Northeast 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!
