Help. Give. Hope.

In light of the Christmas season, I want to pay a special tribute this week to a local non-profit organization that is dear to our hearts year-round: Help Give Hope. Michael Brady, our president at Systematic Savings Bank, has been volunteering every season for years in Help Give Hope’s Christmas Project and is happy to be a part of this programs growth.  

Help Give Hope is an organization based right here in Springfield that assists needy families, in particular children, in southwest Missouri. It was founded originally to provide help during the holiday season, but Help Give Hope now offers year-round assistance to children in need.

During last year’s Christmas Project Help Give Hope provided clothing, toys, furniture, appliances, food and automobiles to 228 families— including over 800 children.

Throughout the year they assist families with utility, rental assistance, gas vouchers and educational help. They even offer a used car program.

100% of all donations to Help Give Hope go directly to the families in need and all donations are private.

If you’re interested in donating or volunteering with Help Give Hope this Christmas season, please check out their website: www.helpgivehope.org they could always use another helping hand.
