Helping Hands
- All of the Kindergartners at my school and also the girls in my brownie troop helped stuff some goody bags -- so fun!
- The youth group at Our Fathers Lutheran Church in Rockford was also a really big help with the goody bags. I read the story to them and told them about my project. They decided that they wanted to also help raise money, and helped with the donations to Hope Lodge.
