Hardy Family Automotive Group graciously matched Helping Hands of Paulding's donations (up to $10,000) for the entire month of November. This essentially gave Helping Hands more bang for their fundraising buck by receiving two donations instead of one. The marketing staff also assisted the charitable organization by creating a custom page on the Hardy Automotive website specifically for them. Thanks to this, Helping Hands was able to generate more interest and awareness for this fundraising opportunity.
Mrs. Burks was excited to address Rotary club members once again. She thanked everyone for the continued support. Mrs. Burks highlighted the growth that Helping Hands has experienced since its beginnings in 1987. Started by five churches approximately 31 years ago, Helping Hands has been able to provide 6,000 families with basic food needs (as of October 2018) this year. By the end of this year Helping Hands of Paulding County will have distributed over 1 million pounds of food to local residents.
