In January, the Camden-Wyoming Rotary Club presented books collected during the Holiday season to Caring Hearts Helping Hands (CHHH) located in Magnolia, DE. The C-W Rotary Club has been an ongoing supporter of this wonderful organization. Over many years, we’ve sponsored families at Christmas/holiday time, provided school supplies and financial assistance for their back-to-school program, and for the last 2-years collected books to be distributed to each child on their birthday.
Here’s more about this great charity from the CHHH website:
CHHH is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization started by six women in October 2002. Our mission is to provide assistance to struggling working families in Kent County, DE by supplying holiday gifts, back to school needs (book bags packed with age-appropriate supplies), shoe certificates, as well as new and gently used clothing and household items as needed throughout the year.
We maintain a warehouse where client families can come shop once a month throughout the year at no cost. We depend on community donations of new and gently used items and funding. We also give a new gift for each child's birthday.
We have no paid staff; we are all volunteers. Even our warehouse and electricity are donated. CHHH has two special programs each year centered on back-to-school (Heart and Sole) and Christmas/holiday that serve approximately 100-125 low-income working families.
