Food Pantry
Highland Food Pantry needs a few volunteers willing to help at the pantry a couple times a year. Call Rick Porter 618-978-8765 if interested in helping those in need.
Hitz Memorial Home
The Hitz Auxiliary board had a wonderful turnout for their annual Tasting Bee.This is one of the major fundraisers of the year for the facility. Proceeds are used to purchase much needed equipment to help the lives of those making Hitz their home.
Recently the Auxiliary was able to purchase a Sit-to-Stand machine for $6,000. This was possible because of everyone that donated, bought apple butter, attended the Tasting Bee, bought raffle tickets, or helped in any other way to provide for the residents at Hitz.
The second annual Parent Day was a huge success thanks to the members of Salem UCC who organized and prepared the BBQ Bash for residents, staff and families. A special thank you to Joe Powell for providing the entertainment.
