On tonight Helping Hands Asset Relief Program was one of the 7 recipients who received $10,000 to continue the work in the community. Our organization has been holding on to this news for a few weeks and it was so very hard to maintain the secrecy if you will of such a wonderful gesture. Many families will go through hardships of death and we just want to help where we can, and when we can. We also want to thank our sponsors and supporters for all everything they do. Our organization is standing in the gap to help those in need. We will walk with you every step of the way! Again, we thank #Local1288 for being such a jewel within the community as well as the Jonnie Dawson Charitable Foundation.

Today Our Grass Our Roots, presented  a panel discussion and Helping Hand Asset Relief Program, Shoemaker Financial, Northwestern Mutual, Shelby County Government-aging commission, and Independent Insurance consultant were amongst the panel.  The topics ranged from life insurance, basic budgeting, investment options, and the importance of will preparation.
