Ginny’s Helping Hand, Inc., a food pantry and thrift shop, today welcomed The Paper Store employees to the non-profit\u2019s Mechanic Street location to recognize a recent fundraiser supporting the non-profit\u2019s mission to help those in the community survive and thrive.<\/p>\n
The fundraiser, which was held in July, offered the opportunity for community members to purchase VIP Early Access tickets to The Paper Store\u2019s Warehouse Sale, with 100 percent of the early access tickets donated to Ginny\u2019s Helping Hand. The sold-out event welcomed more than 250 people and raised more than $6,000 for Ginny\u2019s Helping Hand. In addition to the financial donation, the organization also received $375 in donations from shoppers and non-perishable items. Additionally, six pallets worth of clothing donations were provided from The Paper Store following the sale to Ginny\u2019s Thrift Store.<\/p>\n
In the week following the historic floods in the City of Leominster, The Paper Store again reached out to Ginny\u2019s Helping Hand to offer support. This time, the store donated a portion of its Leominster\u2019s location proceeds in the week following the flood to Ginny\u2019s Helping Hand, resulting in approximately $3,000 toward the organization\u2019s flood relief efforts.<\/p>\n
