Community “SHRED AND BREAD” Event Success – Raised $1,000 for helping hands!

St Johns hosted a Community “SHRED AND BREAD” event on Saturday 1 October .  The customers that utilized the free shredding donated $1,000 to helping hands, as well as ~250 lbs. of non-perishable food items. Since the food banks can obtain food for around ~$0.20/lb., your generous donations will provide over 4,250 lbs. of food to the pantry, enough to support more than 350 families for a month. THANK YOU for your generosity. 

If you missed our event  and want to donate to Helping Hands anyway via credit card, follow our “Secure Donation Link” on this page and and select Miamisburg Helping Hands option. 100% percent of donations go to helping hands.
