"I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the water to create many ripples" - Mother Theresa
Showing up where and when it is least expected with no goal other than to create positive change in our community.
A Ripple Effect Project is an opportunity for our team to support the community through volunteerism, donations and small acts of kindness.
Help the Helpers is an annual Ripple Effect event designed to honor and serve people who dedicate their lives to uplifting our communities.

In partnership with S.E.E.D. Planning Group & SEEDs of Hope, Help the Helpers began as an annual holiday meal drive created from a simple idea: to bring joy and relief to those who dedicate their lives to serving others.
Our journey began with a small team of volunteers and a handful of community partners who shared a vision of making the holiday season brighter for struggling families. The first year saw volunteers delivering gifts to 8 families. The response from recipients was overwhelming, humbling, and incredibly rewarding.
What started as a modest effort has since grown into a multi-state event thanks to the support of local businesses, individual donors, and an ever-growing team of volunteers. Help the Helpers has become a beloved annual tradition!
As we look ahead, we hope this small act of appreciation deepens community ties and has a ripple effect on all who participate.
