Helping Hand House and So. Hill Rotary Celebrate Ribbon Cutting for Emergency Residence in Puyallup

In the "Land of Generous People" it's not uncommon to hear heart warming stories about the community supporting the homeless or victims of domestic violence.  Local non-profit, Helping Hand House located on So. Hill, is one of the most successful organizations to assist with giving folks a hand up when they need it and following through with necessary support for sustainable lifestyle changes.  In Pierce County, HHH provides 60% of the emergency housing needs in Puyallup, Sumner, Graham, Orting, Bonney Lake and beyond.  Last week Rep. Hans Zeiger and Puyallup, Mayor John Knutsen and several Puyallup City Council members were on hand to celebrate a ribbon cutting for a HHH housing facility that is now completely paid for.

Helping Hand House is able to provide these much needed emergency housing services with the help of partners like So. Hill Rotary.  The So. Hill Rotary is committed to supporting HHH programs and was also on hand to celebrate their final payment for an emergency housing unit in downtown Puyallup.  Because of Rotary's ongoing commitment to purchase homes in the area, Helping Hand House can commit their fundraising efforts to supporting family assistance programs without the burden of housing costs.

So when you see the Rotary volunteers parking cars at Fair time, or selling tickets for local fundraisers, know that the money collected is being applied "generously" and appropriately for those in need.  A big chamber Congratulations to Duke Paulson, Exec. Dir. and Sandy Maynard, Board Pres. at Helping Hand House, as well as Trish Cole, current President of So. Hill Rotary, and all of the So. Hill Rotary members who help support the HHH programs.  Puyallup really is a Land of Generous People.
