SimplyHelp is expanding its Domestic Programs

The warehouse will be closed this Sunday.

The container to

Honduras

will be shipped one week later than planned – instead of this Sunday, it will go out next Sunday.

SimplyHelp is currently in the process of expanding its domestic programs. Besides the donation distributions we strive to add educational projects to SimplyHelp’s repertoire. 

A growing population of retired people is forced to re-enter the workforce as a result of economic hardship and the loss of 401K’s.

Many need to be re-trained to be competitive in the job market.

SimplyHelp is researching this problem and what services will be most beneficial to these people.

If you are an expert in this area or you know people knowledgeable on this subject- please get in contact with us. 

Lastly, SimplyHelp will post pone its trip to the UN to May 3^rd-8^th.

People who would like to join SimplyHelp to this Sustainability Conference are welcome to send me an email ( lotte@simplyhelp.org).

Have a wonderful day,

Lotte

Warehouse OPEN this Sunday-please come and help.

Dear Volunteers,

The warehouse will be open for donation drop-off this Sunday, from 2pm-4pm.

Address:

14940 E. Don Julian Rd.

City of Industry, CA 91748

We really need help with the organization of the donations in the warehouse.

Highschool students can get credit for helping SimplyHelp so please spread the word and bring your friends.

SimplyHelp will also be preparing a container for Honduras

this Sunday, so we can use all the help we can get.

The Fundraiser at La Puente Hills last weekend was a lot of fun. We made animal balloons and the little children were very excited about the balloon-swords and about wearing a balloon-hat with a balloon-dog attached to it.  So cute!

The pictures of the event will be on the front page of our website by tomorrow.

Have a wonderful Wednesday,

Lotte

This weekend is the 2009 Chinese New Year's Lantern Festival held at Puente Hills Mall, Feb. 7-8. 

 SimplyHelp will do a fundraiser together with animal organization PAWSGOGO, selling balloon animals and distributing information about SimplyHelp.

 Here are the details for this weekend's event.

February 8th, Sunday,    11:00 a.m - 6:00 p.m.

 Puente Hills  Mall is located at:

1600  Azusa Ave.,City of Industry, CA

 The major cross streets are Colima Road and Azusa Ave , between the cities of Hacienda Heights and Rowland Heights.

 Booth Number has not been assigned yet, so just go ask around on the day of the event. 

The Balloon Making Class will be on Saturday morning from 9:30am – 10am. Don’t worry if you can not make it to the class, balloon making is fairly easy and we can teach you on the spot.

 We will need all the volunteers we can get for making balloon animals, because we will be busy.   Volunteers who have joined us in the past probably remember from the past how busy we were, and that balloons generated over $200-300 dollars per day!!!!

   Thank you very much.   See you all this weekend.
