21st Lend-A-Hand Day Lent a Very Large Hand!

This past Saturday, March 28th, was the 21st Annual Lend-A-Hand Day. During this event, we had 18 volunteers who logged almost 100 volunteer hours. The purpose of the event was to help those in need by collecting toiletries, cleaning supplies, baby items, and used clothes, and take them down to the YWCA to distribute. During this event, we had 106 Muncie/Delaware County residents come through our doors. Each one of them left saying thank you and smiling as they walked out the door.

If you wanted to donate to LAHD and did not get the chance to do so this year, you're in luck! SVS holds this event every year, so you will definitely have the chance to participate in next year's event.

Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped to make this event a success! You're appreciated!
