Hands of Faith's Annual Holiday Market was a huge success! A heartfelt thank you to all our volunteers who helped welcome our shoppers, restock the tables, set up and take down the displays, ring up sales, etc. It truly takes so much manpower to bring this event together. Stay tune for an invitation to an upcoming social event in January where we can show our appreciation.
Other news: We are sad to report that Elizabeth Eppler, our office manager, has resigned due to family matters. Thank you, Elizabeth, for your hard work this past year. We appreciate it very much!
Be sure to stop by to see our new look. It's amazing what a little paint and new carpet can do! We are excited to show it off, so hope to see you soon.
