THE STORY

Assembled by young hands. Delivered to cold ones.

Harper and a dedicated team of young helpers came together to assemble 50 essential cold weather kits. Each kit was thoughtfully packed and tagged with the Harper's Helpers branded Warm Hands, Warm Hearts label before being delivered to the Light of Life Rescue Mission on Pittsburgh's North Side.

Harper used a tagging gun to attach the branded tags herself, one kit at a time. That is the Harper's Helpers way. Nothing outsourced. Nothing impersonal. Every single one touched by her hands.

This project proved that even the youngest helpers can make a serious difference when they show up with intention.
