Greetings Help One Child Champions,
We appreciate your faithful partnership to support at-risk children and their families, and to inspire and equip God's people to reflect His heart for children in need!
I am pleased to introduce you to our two new staff members:
- Damali Tillman, Church Liaison. Damali comes to us from Unity Care Group and the DFCS of Santa Clara County. She has a wealth of experience as a social worker and a passion for connecting families in need with the local church. She will be reaching out to churches throughout our region to make sure they are aware of our programs and services, and have a supply of our informational cards. Please help her make sure that the ministry of Help One Child is visible at your church!
- Melanie Hohengasser, Administrative Assistant Melanie is currently pursuing a degree in Psychology. She has a desire to help children at risk, so supporting the staff and the families we serve through the ministry's many programs and services is exciting for her! Be sure and contact Melanie regarding donations of goods and if you would be willing to contribute a gift to a child at risk this Christmas Season through our Giving Tree program.
Please join me in welcoming Damali and Melanie to the team!
