Some of our hard- working volunteers have been with us since the opening of the facility 10 years ago. They can tell you the many growth changes that have occurred so the blessings can continue. Sometimes
though, it’s the numbers that tell the big story of God’s ability to grow this mission. That’s what we hope to share in this newsletter.
2024 saw an incredible growth of families helped, medical equipment loaned, hospital beds going out
and items inventoried. To accommodate this growth, volunteers have increased from 3 to 4 or 5 to meet
the demands of the very busy days. The “behind the scenes” work of those cleaning and inventorying
equipment, doing computer work, maintaining the building and equipment, cleaning and organizing has
also increased and is so appreciated. Compare the numbers from 2015 to this year and you will see how
God has steadily increased the amount of people each volunteer helped.
Where do HELP’s clients come from you ask?
Let each of you look not only to his own interest, but also to the interest of others. Philippians 2:4

Monetary Savings Impact from Free Disposables:
In everything I did, I showed you that by his hard work, we must help the weak, remembering the words
the Lord Jesus himself said: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Acts 20:35
Free disposables are mostly donated by people in the community. Items such as pull ups, panty liners,
and tabbed briefs are the most distributed disposable items. Other items distributed include oxygen
tubing, colostomy, tracheostomy, wound, urinary catheter, and nutritional supplies.
Excess supplies were given and distributed to clients of the Blue Ridge area Food Bank, Kings Daughters
Community Health and Rehab Center and the Regency @ Augusta.
The grand total of savings to disposables handed out free of charge in 2024 was:
$56,151.95
