Help Equals Hope Needs Turkeys for Thanksgiving

This year Help Equals Hope will again provide Thanksgiving Week food boxes for at least 120 families. The all-volunteer organization, led by Executive Director Laura Burnett, has been working with teachers, principals, shelters and social workers who have already identified families in need of nutrition assistance while school is closed for the holiday.

Since turkeys are the most expensive food item, Help Equals Hope is requesting our help.

One easy way is to buy a gift card at Smith's, Walmart or Lowe's Market, and mail it to:

Help Equals Hope
P.O. Box 66765
Albuquerque, NM 87193

Another option this year is PayPal, using the email address, info@helpequalshope.org The food boxes (each with a turkey) will be distributed to families on Sunday, Nov. 19

Help Equals Hope is a program of the 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, America's Children. Visit their website to learn more about this wonderful organization. They also hold a school supply drive annually, providing backpacks of school supplies for children whose parents can't afford to purchase them, and they gather monetary and in-kind donations year-round. In August they were able to distribute 1181 backpacks to students throughout New Mexico and the Navajo Nation just across the border in Arizona!
