Friends & Helpers: 2014 Holiday Program

For four years, I have been following the wonderful organization, Friends & Helpers.  I first heard about them on the World Famous KROQ.  Their goal is to "provide support and encouragement for the women, teens and children (and sometimes men), all of whom are trying to help themselves out of a violent, hurtful situation."  I couldn't imagine how meaningful this could be during the holiday season.  Some families drop everything to escape a terrible environment, unable to take their personal belongings much less money to have a  normal Christmas.  That is why I love this organization; they are making their spirits bright.

If yoWhat is great about their program is that 100% of every dollar donated goes directly to someone in need! During the holidays, they have an Adopt-A-Family program and Adopt-A-Stocking.  They also take donations year round.  You can donate any amount and it only takes five minutes!
