THANKING OUR PORTSMOUTH NH'S POLICE AND PUBLIC SERVANTS! =-)

Good Evening America!

I would like to take a moment to recognize The Police Officers in my Hometown of Portsmouth, NH. This past summer they took time out of their hectic schedules through the fall to interact with the community by working with Senior Services City of Portsmouth's Coordinator, Brinn Sullivan, in " The Walk With A Cop Program". While HCH Volunteers were local, they came out to participate and gave a wonderful report!! Beautiful and Humble Thanks to Chief Merner, Captain Warchol, LT Newport, LT Sargent, and Detective Navelski... Its a wonderful time to get to know those who are trying in heart with everything they've got to keep Portsmouth safe..... Also Amazing Love and Special Thanks to Brinn Sullivan, who with a small group of caring hearts, help give our Seniors Special Love, Admiration, Attention, and Support in their Golden Years.....  Thank God For You All....Amen (Some group photos and Picture 2 is of Brinn Sullivan and the amazing Melodie Laber Chapman) Special thanks and love as always to The Help!ComeHome! Team!!

City Harvest and NYC

A team of nine HCH volunteers recently traveled down to NYC to partner again with City Harvest, an organization that provides farm-fresh produce to communities throughout NYC, free of charge. City Harvest engages volunteers from the five boroughs and beyond, bringing helping hands together to help feed families that cannot otherwise afford the steep prices that all too often accompany farmer's market quality food. On the first Wednesday and third Saturday of every moth, City Harvest helps feed the 1.3 million New Yorkers facing hunger, redistributing excess food from supermarkets, restaurants, and famer's markets to where it is needed most. Families depend on these donations, often waiting in long lines to get the nutrition they seriously need. To find out more about City Harvest, click here.

Last Wednesday, HCH volunteers were happy to help collect groceries for the elderly, disabled, and others otherwise unable to collect the produce on their own. Other HCH volunteers helped prepare the produce for distribution, sorting through and bagging onions, squash, potatoes, and apples. Many thanks to those who joined us in these efforts! (Pictured below: Carol Thomas, Coleen Egan, Alison Mayo, Lynette Nicholas, Sarah Cooper, Bear Freeman, Mark Shelton, Tony Peppers, and Allen Ramsay.)

HONORING OUR BELOVED VOLUNTEER! =-)

Good Evening!
I wanted to take a moment to recognize one of Help!ComeHome!'s most Wonderful Members, Alice Richardson, Ever caring and Ever loving to whoever is lucky enough to cross her path in Jesus Name. In the recent past, she asked her Gracious Employer, Kathleen Spang, who owns The Ocean Woods Resort in Kennebunkport Maine, to donate a ton of bed linens which helped Hurricane Victims in The South.  Even more recently, they donated furniture and televisions to help families in need!! We love you so much Alice! Thank you for being such a Beautiful part of The Team!! Special Thanks to Kathleen Spang, Portsmouth U-haul and their Generous Manager Jason,as well as to Michael Damour, Coleen Eagan Mayo, and Kathleen's employees Jeff and Sean!!! Stay Amazing Everyone and Be Safe! God Bless!!

OUR DAILY BREAD CHARITY BALTIMORE, MARYLAND!! =-)

Hello America! As Help!ComeHome! prepares for our upcoming mission trips to Texas and Florida where we will be partnering with fellow charities for the never ending work of Jesus, we have also been kept very busy in other states as well as New England. Here are some pics from Baltimore, Maryland where we partnered with Our Daily Bread Charity. Special thanks to Michael Damours, Shawn Day, Coleen Egan Mayo, Mark Shelton, Michelle Impey, Sarah Cooper, Renee Anderson, and Lynnette Nicholas... My Prayers Are With Everyone Across America and Far Beyond... God Be With You... Amen.

THE WATER PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE!!!!!

Good Evening,

These past few weeks have been horrible for so many across America. Our Heart, Prayers, and Love are with Everyone not only in Word but also in Deed... I have been very troubled for the Many still without Water. We have even shipped water to some who weren't able to get it before the storm... Some of the Communities that we previously asked to join in with HCH's WATER PROJECT refused our offers because they were confident that they would NEVER find themselves in ANY SITUATIONS like we thought... THEY were dead wrong!!!!!! THEY WOULD HAVE HAD WATER HAD THEY LISTENED.... So I humbly hope that our future endeavors at home in New England and abroad will find a different response, using these Unfortunate Disasters as School Teachers... no one knows the future or The Hand or Arm of God or His Righteous Judgements... The Stored Water will and can Only Help and Save Many Lives in an Uncertain Fate... Neighbor Helping Neighbor in a Time of Emergency... God Be With You All... Amen

Houston

Good evening, America!

Just days before Harvey struck, a team from HCH traveled down to Houston, TX to help prepare and serve meals at The Salvation Army Harbor Light Center, a men's homeless shelter and rehabilitation treatment program. We also held crisis intakes for other homeless individuals in the area. The need for help only continues to grow, especially in light of the recent hurricane damage. Please check back for updates on Hurricane Harvey relief! We will be sending teams to assist in clean-up and restoration shortly!

The Salvation Army kitchen stays open 7 days a week, 365 days a year, serving upwards of 600 homeless men each day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Every resource the shelter uses - from human labor to food and kitchen products - is precious. Many of the men they help are homeless veterans struggling to get back on two feet after returning home from war. Others have simply fallen into hard times and need a helping hand. A simple smile or kind gesture can make a big difference for many of these men, who feel forgotten, abandoned and rejected, both by their own families and by society as a whole. Here are some photos from our journey...

Many thanks to those who volunteered with us... Pictured below: Melba Mayo-Martell, Elisha Mayo, Sarah Cooper, Mark Shelton, Allen Ramsay, Bear Freeman, Michael Damour, Coleen Egan, Lynnette Nicholas, and Chairwoman Alison Mayo.

Extra special thanks to one of our greatest volunteers in Texas, Melba Mayo-Martell. It was such a pleasure and privilege to work with you!

HOUSTON TEXAS AND THE MID AND SOUTHERN US

Greetings,

HCH has been kept busy in these summer months by aiding many in need in various communities, visiting the Seniors and the sick, and traveling into The Middle and Southern States to partner with other Charities involved in this noble cause. Most recently we were in Houston Texas unaware of HARVEY. (We knew that a storm was about to hit the area, but had no idea about the large-scale destruction it would cause!) Upon leaving, we found ourselves trapped in a Huge Monsoon. By God's Graces, we made it through....veryyyyy scaryyyy!!!! We then found out about flooding and mass-damage caused by hurricane Harvey!!!! It's Tragic!!!! Thank God for so many stepping in to Donate their time and money. We are our cancelling our present Agenda and will be returning very soon to partner with other charities for Ongoing Clean up. Pictured : Oberlin, Ohio with The Sacred Heart Catholic Church headed up by the most amazing Pastor Robert Cole..... They do a great work in Jesus Name!!! I graciously thank all The HCH Team!! Take care and Be Safe!!!! God Bless!

MISSIONARY RELIEF MISSION

Hello Everyone in America!
I can only continue to hope and pray that this message finds all well... myself and a fellow Board Member just returned from a Missionary Relief Mission in Costa Rica. We went with Apopka Ministries based out of Orlando, Florida for the second year. Many people there live in houses with dirt floors and no running water yet are very grateful for what they have before God and for all the help we were able to give them -  which mainly was food, clothing, household items, and a few bills. We visited some local churches and helped there as well... It was a truly heart wrenching but lovely work in Jesus Name... I love America and its Beautiful People, and I can honestly say in comparison to many other countries, we have much to be Grateful for... Take Care and I Thank God....

Trip to the Pine Street Inn in Boston!

Good evening, America!

We hope this message finds you well. Help!ComeHome! is well into its summer season. Although chairwoman Alison Mayo has been overseas with a fellow board member doing missionary work, she has ensured that all HCH projects have remained well underway.

A group of 10 volunteers and board members recently ventured into Boston to partner with Pine Street Inn to help prepare meals for the homeless. Great thanks to Matthew Walsh, Thomas Cooper, Evon Cooper, Shawn Day, Michelle I. Mayo, Aaron Mayo, Mark Shelton, Renee Anderson, Karen Howe, and Sarah Cooper for donating your time and labor to this gracious cause!

Have a look at some pictures from the project below.

As always, please give to your local charities and volunteer whenever you can! Never underestimate the power of a helping hand, no matter how small the gesture.
