The board of directors, staff and volunteers of South Texas Helping Hands Ministries in Pettus, wish to thank all those persons who had such a great part in helping us provide 50-plus boxes of canned goods, turkeys and all the trimmings, etc., at the 2008 Christmas season. It was marvelous to see the way that God impressed on the hearts of persons to help make this possible.

We wish to thank H-E-B and Wal-Mart in Beeville, H-E-B and Wal-Mart in Kenedy, Pettus High School administration and staff, Pettus Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Pettus High School National Honor Society, Spanish Club, Student Council, Christian Worship Center in Beeville and the area churches of North Bee County for making it all possible. There were many individuals who also helped in this endeavor. We thank each of you, too.

We are a 25-year-old non-profit organization located in Pettus that seeks to provide food, clothing and various other items to those who have needs. We appreciate your prayers and support as we seek to meet these needs.

God bless each of you in 2009 is our prayer.

In His service,

Leo C. Oliver Jr.

Director
