Our family has been involved with Hands4Hope since January of this year. We were excited to find something that we could do together, as a family. I had been looking for a way for our family to serve in our community for a while. We have two boys, ages 8 and 10. We have been blessed in so many ways and wanted to be able to give back and serve others who are in need.
I was introduced to Hands4Hope after volunteering at the El Dorado County Food Bank distribution at Christmas-time. Hands4Hope is a great fit for us; it's something we can all do together. Since joining Hands4Hope we have done the Placerville homeless outreach two times. On both occasions it was cold and snowy. It was a real eye-opener to the fact that there are people who have to try and survive in weather like that. We have enjoyed meeting the people we are serving, asking their names and hearing their stories. It has sparked some really great conversations with our boys. They love it and look forward to serving again.
