A Donor’s Perspective
“I never realized how much need existed right here in Hancock County.
My eyes were opened when I stopped by the Family Center to learn how I could become more involved in the community. I had heard of CCH before my church participates but I didn’t fully understand the impact. The staff and volunteers shared how they help local families every single day.
As a lifelong resident, I had no idea how many unmet needs existed in our own hometown. The work CCH does is truly remarkable. Choosing to become a monthly donor was an easy decision. They explained their utility assistance programs, Halt Hunger, Stuff the Bus, Project Happy Feet, and the Annual Garage Sale.
When I retire, I hope to volunteer too this organization is such an asset to our community.”
