Dayspring's Happy Helpers Make Lunches for Chase Community Shelter in Rockville back

On the 3rd weekend of each month, Dayspring's Happy Helpers make bagged lunches, and fellowship together. From April-October, the Dayspring youth use their Sunday school time to prepare lunches for 60 men. In other months the numbers soar to 120. Occasionally, Saturday gatherings are held instead, giving our youth and adults an opportunity to work together in assembling the bags. SSL Hours are available. We hope you'll join us at the Farmhouse. All are welcome!
 
The ministry, known as Happy Helpers, was started 14 years ago after a call to serve the homeless came from Kiera, an Elementary School student.  Kiera's Mom, Carol, began the ministry, and Jen Goode joined her a few month's later (after her son Justin was born).   
 
When Kiera started college, the Goode's continued to coordinate this ministry so that the youth could actively live out Jesus' call to serve those in need.   Kiera's call to action lives on!
