Helping Hands of St. Johns County recently presented 50 Mothers day tote bags to the ladies in Betty Griffin House. Betty Griffin provides shelter to abused and battered women and their children in St. Johns County. With the help of the community, members and Winn Dixie, each woman received new clothing, cosmetics, health and beauty needs and jewelry. The brightly patterned recyclable bags were filled by the members at their last meeting.
The group also decorated and donated pots of plants and flowers to local nursing homes in May. The group will be coordinating a Fathers day barbeque at Trout Creek Senior Center on June 18th for our local seniors.
The next meeting will take place on Friday, June 25th at 12PM at Faith Community Church on CR210 next to Cimarrone. Helping Hands will be having a Flip Flop Friday. Members and anyone wishing to donate may bring a pair of NEW flip flops any size, or gender that will be donated to homeless shelters in the area. For more information or to drop off contact

New members are always welcome and projects come from suggestions of the members or a need in the community. Contact
