It takes a village!
As 2017 ends for HNS with a successful Holiday Outreach project, we have so many people to thank! We thank all of the churches, civic groups, organizations and residents who adopted families for Christmas, donated toys and gifts, provided Thanksgiving baskets of food, bought turkeys and hams and helped us reach more than 400 families during the two holidays. We had collections by businesses and organizations who provided items for families and for our senior citizens who were in need. We are incredibly proud to live and raise our families in such a loving and caring community as Monroe County. It truly takes a village!
A heartfelt thank you!
As the House of Neighborly Service is entering the third year of hosting our Help Line Phone, we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to those who have made it possible for us to help our friends and community. First and foremost we must thank the City of Waterloo and Mayor Tom Smith for paying for this phone line and allowing us the opportunity to serve our communities. We thank those who made donations, who paid rent for someone in need, who provided clothing, paid a utility bill, repaired a car, made house repairs, delivered a meal, mowed a lawn, provided food, took someone to the doctor or did any of the other tasks we asked of you. The HNS Help Line is simply a phone line. But thanks to you, we have come together as a community and helped each other when there was a need. We pledge to be here to help our neighbors in the future through good times and tough times. That is our mission. Help for today, Hope for tomorrow, Hand up for life! If you would like to offer a service, something that you could do when there is a need, please call the Help Line and we will add you to our grow list of resources. Thank you for your support! 618-939-8680.
