What is Helping Hands and Why am I asked to donate during renewals?

This is what your $10 goes toward! Please give!

Helping Hands (HH) is the outreach arm of the Burlingame Mothers Club. We are a team of four including Mei Chen, Sheila Higgins Druskin, Jennifer O'Connell and Lexi Slavet.

Our focus is to choose the organizations the BMC will support throughout the year, and to plan and execute events, drives and projects to support these organizations in the way they have deemed most useful.

Because of you, the approximately 1,600 BMC members, we raised $11,000 last year for The Samaritan House, Family Connections, Room To Read, The Keller Center of San Mateo, and the Women's Recovery Association. We put on our annual Little Pilgrims event in November, and the first annual BMC Flea this past May which was attended by over 300 people. We also coordinated smaller events including a fall toy, book and blanket drive for Project Night Night (which delivered 140 new totes for homeless children around the Bay Area), a toy drive for the children at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, and the delivery of 20 new backpacks (including kindergarten school supplies) for the graduates of Family Connections Preschool.

Because of you, we are able to give to these amazing organizations. We hope you will continue to support our efforts.

Thank you!
