DONATIONS NEEDED
HOPEFEST is a resource fair and Christian music festival that serves families in the St. John area of east Austin. Free clothing is an incentive for families to go through the Health Insurance Screening Zone to ensure that they know about the low-income health insurance that their family qualifies for. WHPC is collecting donations to support this effort including children's clothing, strollers, cribs, and books. Please, no toys. Beginning, September 20, donations can be place in the children's foyer in the bucket labeled "HOPEFEST DONATIONS." If you are interested in volunteering at the event on October 9th at Reagan High School or have questions, please visit www.hopefestaustin.org or contact, Julie Smith or 306-7905.
