PACK SNACK is our newest program. It was started about 7 years ago by a Sharing Hands board member working with the local school board, the Halsey Methodist Church and the Central Linn Lions Club. Over 100 PackSnacks are distributed for each weekend during the school year to students of low income families to help alleviate their food insecurity.
PARENTS & PALS began in the late 1980's to help offset the reported rise of incidents of child abuse in rural areas. Today it brings parents of young children together for sharing, parenting tips, medical and dental advice, and family resource information while their children participate in playgroup activities.
CHRISTMAS GREETERS this program provides seniors and qualifying families with a complete holiday meal for them to prepare at home.
Toy Ideas: books, puzzles, dolls, cars, games and other unwrapped gifts for children of all ages.
