Jackson House, Hot Springs, AR

The donations made through the box in the narthex marked "Jackson House" resulted in over $9,000 donated in 2013! This is in addition to a significant amount of food donated each week.  Since Jackson House purchases their food through a food bank, they recieved at least three times more than if the food were purchased at a retail grocery.  Bags containing at least $50 in food were provided to 10,756 individuals during 2013.  That equates to approximately 375,000 pounds of food with a retail value of over $540,000!  Both monetary and food donations are necessary.  The food donations fill in items that can't be purchased at the food bank.  Please continue to be generous in contributing to Jackson House.  Janie Smith, Executive Director, stated "We couldn't have met the demand in 2013 without the generous donations from Sacred Heart".
