People Helping People was absolutely delighted to be this year's charity recipient of the annual Silver Tea hosted by St. James Episcopal  Church members. Now in the 56th year, this is a community-wide holiday celebration. Everyone gets out their silver polish and best cookie recipes for this fabulous event.  The tables are covered with fine linens, gleaming silver trays and tea sets and this year, more than 200 dozen delicious handmade  cookies were donated -- a feast appreciated by all!

We are so grateful for your support! All donations will pay for prescriptions for those needing help buying their medicines. 

Several of our People Helping People board members dressed in Victorian costume.  What fun!

Hobbies and Homesteads has changed owners, and the new biz is called Eureka Uniques Antiques and Collectibles. The new owners focus on unique antique, vintage and collectible items and our Flamingo Booth fits right in! Stock changes almost daily, and your purchase at our booth supports People Helping People of Carroll County. Win-win for everyone! Same great space with over 90 quality vendors, same great location at 2100 East Van Buren in Eureka Springs, same wonderful plenty of parking!
​and there's a fun food truck in the parking lot, too ....

Please join us Thursday, Sept 9th at Gotahold Brewing as singer/songwriter Captain Sparky, aka Gerry Fonseca, entertains us with a wide medley of genres; folk, folk rock, blues and Americana. Special guest Leroy Gorrell on harmonica. Tips from the evening benefit People Helping People as part of Gotahold’s amazing “Thursday Tips for Transformation” program. Thank you, Wendy and Dave!

Gotahold Brewing is located at 409 W. Van Buren (Highway  62) tucked back a bit from the road.  There’s an acre and a half of  outdoor table seating in their spacious beer garden. Due to rising Delta variant COVID infections in our area, masks are required inside the building. They have a large assortment of tasty artisan brews on tap as well as a few still and sparkling wines and hard ciders. ​They do not have a food truck but serve cheese trays and snacks. There are several great takeout places nearby or you can bring your own food.  ​

It sure did, it was a gully-washer, but that didn’t stop the SOLD-OUT Sad Daddy concert at Gotahold Brewing to benefit People Helping People.  A happy throng moved indoors to enjoy the evening of uniquely wonderful  “swampy jug” music.

Sad Daddy is Brian Martin on guitar, Melissa Carper on bass, Joe Sundell on banjo, and Rebecca Patek on fiddle.

​Thank you, Sad Daddy and the wonderful staff at Gotahold!

Wow, we've just received the wonderful news that the Ducommun Foundation has generously gifted People Helping People with a $5000 check! The Ducommun Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Ducommun Incorporated that addresses community-based and humanitarian needs. Ducommun in Berryville submitted People Helping People for assistance at the local level. 

It couldn't have come at a better time.  Without the access to on-site fundraisers that have always been our mainstay, prescription need has outstripped donations this year.  Fortunately we had enough carry-over from last year to offset the gap initially, but that gap was widening as the pandemic wears on.  The Ducommun Foundation check is a huge boost!  

"In a time of unprecedented need, we stand by all those impacted by this pandemic," said Stephen G. Oswald, chairman, president & chief executive officer. "Ducommun wants to help our neighbors who are struggling, lift up individuals and families, and make a significant difference in our local communities."
