Summer 2021 is here and there are several events going on at Help House: First, you no longer need an appointment to donate items. Just be certain to drop them off during our business hours. You can find our hours and more information on our website helphouse.online.

Beginning last week, Help House has discontinued appointment scheduling on Monday nights and Wednesdays. Shopping the floor and getting food will be on a first come first serve basis. Help House reserves the right to restrict the amount of people on the inside of the building, if necessary.

On June 18-19, Help House will hold its annual big tent sale. It will be open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. both days. The proceeds assist in funding the food programs at Help House.

With the beginning of summer, kids will want to be outside more. If your child doesn’t have a bicycle, come in and apply to see if you might qualify for a free refurbished bike. Applications are at Help House.

Help House has been serving Osage County for the past 17 years. If you would like an opportunity to serve your community in a fun, positive environment, volunteer! Just three hours a week is all the commitment asked for. For more information or to apply, contact Help House at 131 W. 15th St., Lyndon, Kan., or contact Help House director Scott Perkins at 785-828-4888.
