J and J Foods is joining forces with Helping Hands Foreign Missions to get needed supplies to Haiti!
Beginning Saturday, January 30th and going through Thursday, February 4th, a list will be posted at each of the stores with the items the Helping Hands Team has requested. The needed items will be offered at a reduced price during this time period for this designated purpose. Bins will be placed at the front of each store for convenience of drop off.
My husband would never tell you this, but I will. Each of the three stores has made a significant donation to this effort, as well as the employees of each of the stores. I am so impressed with our management and employees. The company is not making any kind of profit at all on any of the items. The staff has spent significant time this week researching to find the lowest prices on the needed items so that possibly more can be sent. This is why it is good to be a locally owned independent business where needs of a local charitable organization can be met quickly and effectively.
If you are looking for an easy way to give, this may be your chance. Helping Hands Foreign Missions is an extremely reputable organization (see previous posts about them). They now have two teams on site ministering to the great needs of the people of Haiti. If you want to follow along with the teams and their ministry in Haiti, visit
