Helping Hands Nominations

It is time to select our Helping Hands recipients for the fiscal year 2022/23.  Do you have a favorite non-profit that you would like us to support?  Please send your nomination to Kathy Swenson at swenson.home@gmail.com.

Nominations should be returned by the middle of February.  Just a few sentences about the organization, why you think we should support them, and their contact information is all that is needed. Selection will be based on non-profits that are most needy and providing direct services to individuals.

Your suggested organization will be sent an application. Shepherd’s Crossing and The Manhattan Emergency Shelter are recipients every year. That leaves ten possible non-profit selections that need to be made.  This fiscal year those organizations were: The Guardians, Flint Hills Community Clinic, Sunflower CASA Manhattan, The Crisis Center Incorporated, Riley County Humane Society, Project EXCELL, Kansas Abortion Fund, Wonder Workshop, Fairy Godmothers, and Boys and Girls Club.

The Helping Hands Committee will determine recipients for 2022/23 in April.  If you would like to help select the Helping Hands recipients for the following year, please contact Kathy Swenson at swenson.home@gmail.com.

Thank you for helping us become acquainted with agencies and services of which we are unaware.
