United States of America (Press Release) October 20, 2007 --
The Big Hearts With Helping Hands Org. will be having a Pot Luck Meet-up event for their volunteers and family members. The event will be on October 28, 2007 at 4 P.M.... The location is at the McCormick Park at 2900 N. Columbus Blvd. Big Hearts With Helping Hands Of Arizona Organization is a 100% non-profit, tax deductible organization that is waiting to be listed on the Arizona State Disaster Relief non-profit organizations list. Right now, this organization is geared towards making items for the less fortunate children in the metro Tucson, Arizona area. They have members who do knitting, crocheting, beading and quilting. As their group grows, they will be expanding their hand made items to more needy families and children throughout Arizona. Big Hearts With Helping Hands Of Arizona Organization has 38 volunteer members on their Meetup.com web site. http://meetup.com under knitting groups. They have also been making food boxes for the needy and posting their offer on a site Freecycle.org over the past few weeks. The main thing that Big Hearts With Helping Hands Of Arizona Organization likes to do is find ways to benefit the less fortunate needy families with hand made birthday and holiday gifts. They make a great amount of stuffed animals. Last year, one of their volunteers made well over 30 stuffed animals herself. Families request gifts and toys for their family members by e-mailing: BigHeartsOfAZOrg@aol.com or by replying to a posting on www.Freecycle.com Those who e-mail them tell then the children's ages and inform them of each child's favorite animal and their favorite colors. They then e-mail them back requesting that they call the Big Hearts With Helping Hands of Arizona Organization phone number in their e-mail. They then ask for their phone number, so the volunteer who chooses to make their gifts can talk to them to get more detailed information. They then wish to set up an appointment, so the person can look through the books and choose the gift they would like made for another family member. This also allows them to see what other kind of other help Big Hearts With Arizona can try to assist the family with. Since Big Hearts With Helping Hands Of Arizona Organization does not receive cash donations, due to not being registered as a Arizona State Disaster Relief Organization yet, they do all of this at there own personal expense. Even though they can legally write tax deductible donation receipts, there are people who just do not feel comfortable with giving cash donations, unless registered with Arizona State. They are registered with the Federal IRS office, just not on the Arizona Disaster Relief listing yet. The volunteers are given the option to choose one or more families to hand make gifts for. They can sit and talk to them about the items they think the other person would like. All beaded gifts goes to our Beeding volunteers.

Big Hearts With Helping Hands Of Arizona Organization is geared up for the holidays, to benefit the less fortunate children.
