HOMERS FOR THE HUNGRY AND HOMELESS
Oakland A’s Max Stassi hit 110 “out of the park” in thirty minutes during his recent “Homers for the Hungry and Homeless” event in Yuba City. Max raised $1800 for Hands of Hope, and over $6000 in food and cash donations for seven local food closets in Yuba, Sutter, and Colusa counties. This event gave an important boost to local food programs, which have seen the demand for emergency food literally triple since last summer.
Max is shown here with Sutter County Supervisor Jim Whittaker, who MC’d the event. Our thanks to Max for his strong support of needy families in our community.
Hands of Hope is a locally chartered non-profit corporation formed to provide supportive services to homeless families with children, seeking to alleviate the conditions leading to chronic homelessness.
While our motivation is rooted in the charitable traditions of all world religions, Hands of Hope is independent of any specific religious group.
We welcome participation by all persons of good will regardless of faith affiliation.

TURKEY TROT A HUGE SUCCESS
Our second annual Turkey Trot 5K Family Run/Walk drew over 500 participants, with baby strollers, dogs, and imaginative team names setting the tone of the day....more.
The results are in!
Bryce Willoughby (right side, back row) organized his 7th-8th grade class at Valley Christian Academy to collect over twenty bags of clothing, toiletries, and supplies for our program. The class also assembled twelve Family Gift Boxes containing personal care items, games, and snack foods, which will also be distributed to our families. Thanks to these students for remembering the true meaning of Christmas!
