Cy-Fair Helping Hands Seeks Assistance with Holiday Giving By Patricia Hudson
Thanksgiving Blessings Boxes
Cards of Hope
Cy-Fair Helping Hands will be distributing Thanksgiving Blessings Boxes, (contents for a complete Thanksgiving meal, together with a $20 - $25 WalMart gift card for a turkey or ham), to clients and families in need in the Cy-Fair community.
Did you know that there are hundreds of homeless students in CFISD? The holiday season is a bleak time for those living from day to day, not knowing where they will sleep, or if they will even have a meal to eat. With the help of our community partners, our Homeless Teen Initiatives’ Cards of Hope program added joy to the lives of 550 CFISD students at Christmas last year when each received a $50 gift card to use as they wished. These needs are even greater this holiday season.
CFHH is requesting assistance with donations for this Thanksgiving program. We have a goal of providing 620 of these boxes for our struggling clients, and others within our community. We have faith that the good people of Cy-Fair will help to provide the items needed to reach our goal. Items needed: mac & cheese, apple/peach/cherry pie filling and boxed Jiffy pie crust mix, boxed mashed potatoes, canned sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing, canned corn, green beans, and peas, chicken broth or Cream of Mushroom/Cream of Chicken soup, boxed Jiffy Corn Bread mix, and turkey gravy. In order to meet this goal, 1,240 of each item, and 620 gift cards are needed. Nonperishable donations are requested to be delivered by Sunday, November 15. 7520 Cherry Park Drive, Suite B, Houston, 77095. Email Patricia Hudson, Executive Director of Community Outreach: phudson@cyfairhelpinghands.org to arrange delivery dates and times.

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our Client Christmas party this year. While it is disappointing, we know that it is the safest thing to do, and will ensure that volunteers and clients will be safer for it. Instead, with Santa’s help, we plan to hand out Christmas stockings to client children that come through a drive-through visit with the jolly old elf. Our goal is 500 stockings filled with candy and small toys. For more information contact Pat Hudson at phudson@cyfairhelpinghands.org.
