The Mary Hall Freedom House hosts monthly family days where patrons and their families gather for lunch and group sessions. Most of the monthly events include families taking off to the local restaurants to grab a quick bite before returning to MHFH for their group meetings. The be4good project thought it would be nice to serve a hot meal where they could all stay together and spend more quality time together.
On Saturday, April 16th, 3 members made and served lunch for approximately 50 family members. Mini meatball hoagies, salad, cookies, chips and drinks were on hand and everyone had their fill.
While our commitment to serve is still up in the air pending time and resources, it is sure to be one of our preferred events for the future.
May we all share the time and love with family...and as always, be4good!

Mary Hall Freedom House Supports Women and Children
One of our new projects this year was to provide 75 Easter baskets to the Mary Hall Freedom House. Mary Hall Freedom House is a nonprofit organization and national leader in gender-specific treatment, recovery, housing and support services to help women and women with children break the cycle of poverty, homelessness, mental health disorders, and addiction. Below is the Director, Gwen Hall, and two of her helpers that were there to accept and delivery our baskets to the children. Visit them at www.maryhallfreedomhouse.org.

Hop into Spring with our Easter Baskets for Love
Easter Baskets for Love Update:
Many thanks to all of our supporters for the Easter baskets this year. We made 85 and filed them with wonderful items and candy. 75 went to the Mary Hall Freedom Center and 10 will go to the Cobb County MUST shelter this Saturday. A special thanks to the following people who donated time/items to our project: Jackson Keenan, Jill Hewes, Christina Klejka, Susan Blackman, Dr. Gail McLaurin, Patty Sammons, Susan Neal, Nancy Chessey, Nichole Burkhalter, Patty Voyles, Jennifer Kenny, Stephanie Gale, Ryan Gale, Valerie Sherer and Steve Gale. Special thanks to our youngest supporters, Cara and Sammy Kenny. Sammy (age 6) gave up going to the store, the park and a party to stay and help with the baskets. When asked why she stayed, she said "Because it's nice." Kindness matters folks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Where has the time gone? It is almost spring in Georgia and our daffodils are already blooming; of course, we've had our biggest snows in March so we will have to see.
It is time again for our Easter Baskets for Love project. This year we've added a new group to support: The Mary Hall Freedom House. We will be making 75 baskets for them and 10 for the MUST shelter in Cobb County.
We have already received a good amount of support from our team, but are now reaching out to others to fill the gaps.
Here is what we still need:
A:Matchbox cars 12 in individual packages- TK
B: Barbie Dolls - 8 in individual boxes
C: Barbie Dolls 8 in individual boxes
D: 15 filler toys - boy or girl (check the dollar stores or Target) PUP
E: 15 filler toys - boy or girl (check the dollar stores or Target) PUP
F: 4 AXE body spray or comparable for teen boys-JK
G: 5 body sprays for teen girls-JK
H. 6 dozen filled eggs - SB
We already have the baskets, grass, chocolate bunnies, candy, bubbles, baby items, some teen girl items, baby books, stuffed animals, toothbrushes and toothpaste.
If you can support us with purchasing items, please choose the item letter and email it to me so I can mark it off our list. (Example: if you are purchasing item A you are purchasing all items in that letter group - as in 12 matchbox cars).
You can email us at thebe4goodproject@gmail.com. Once received, we will let you know where to drop off or if we can pick up your items. All items need to be received by March 12th. We will assemble and delivery to MUST and the Mary Hall Freedom House on Saturday, March 19th.
Please note: we are NOT a non-profit group, but we support non-profit groups. If you need a tax receipt, let us know now so we can provide one for you from the non-profit groups above.
Please email with questions as well and as always, be4good!
