Helping Hands 4Kids Has New Home Dee Gannon Helping Hands Townsend 4Kids (HHT 4 Kids) has moved to a bigger location at 323 Broadway; making shopping for children’s goods much easier. The floor plan is open; with plenty of room to spread out.

HHT4 Kids had been in their former location at 223 Broadway since June 2020. Helping Hands Townsend had gotten so big (thanks to your consistently great donations) that they had to open a second location, dedicated to children. There, with Sheila Heavirland as manager, they earned a wonderful following. 4Kids was growing too; so, when the auto parts store became available, HHT jumped on it. This new store has a lot of room (plus just as much space upstairs). Here, the racks are spaced so they can be perused easier. Toys are displayed on shelves; as are shoes and books. Ride-on toys are on the floor, with room for a test drive.

HHT4Kids will have expanded hours too. They are now open Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday from 10-4. They are open now; with their Grand Opening planned for February 1. There will be specials; among them a raffle for gas cards. If you spend $3 or more, you will be entered for a chance at those $25 gas cards.

Helping Hands 4 Kids is looking for a few more volunteers. If you are interested in serving the community; this is a great way. Come into the store or call Sheila, at 406-422-6043 for more information.

Helping Hands Townsend and HHT4Kids are 501c-3 non-profits. In 6 ½ years; they have given out over $80,000 to Broadwater County. They donate to the Ministerial Association, Head Start, Food Pantry, Christmas Connection, and other local non-profits. People who have a financial need can be served just by visiting Sheila. As Treasurer to the Board, she is able to help in some way.

If you are in need of low-priced, very nice items for your kids: toys, furniture, books, backpacks, clean clothing, shoes, and so much more (even maternity wear) come down and the new store.

They are waiting for their overhead sign, but the sidewalk sign will be out when open. They are accepting donations at the door on Cedar Street when they are open. Please do not leave donations unattended.
