UPDATE!!!

  After our visit to Hazard Kentucky, we came back home with a sense of real need! Children and adults with no shoes, smiles In the children's faces that we will never forget. They ask for so little and we feel they needed so much.

WE HAVE DECIDED TO GO BACK IN OCTOBER!!!!!!!!

  This operation will be coats, shoes, boots, mittens, and hats. The winters are hard and cold. The toiletries were something that we didn't even realize how much it was needed. The children looking through boxes of shoes that were donated. The school supplies were gone in less than 2 hrs. Over 1200 school back packs and bags just gone so fast. The food was gone in 30 minutes!!! WOW!!!!

  We had so many people want to get involved and thankfully they did. LETS ALL PULL TOGETHER AND ONCE AGAIN!!! PLEASE DONATE AT OUR OFFICE OR WALMART.

Ask Pam or Barbara about this Project!!!!!! OPERATION WARM HEARTS!!!

LETS MAKE THIS PROJECT ONE FROM THE

                              HEART!!!!!

  We have decided to take our efforts to the great state of Kentucky , as we all are aware there are families in the Appalachian areas of Kentucky that need our help. The average family income for a household of 5 is $11000.00, but most are below that at $5000.00 per year. These children go to school and that is the only place they have a hot meal or food at all.  We feel a real need to help, we will be TAKING THE SUPPLIES OURSELVES (just like Katrina) the following are needed supplies. Cut off date will be August 15^th.         PLEASE
