Hello everyone, 

Author Helen Keller said “alone we can do so little; together we can do so much”. This quotation is a synopsis of Hooktown Holidays, Inc.  Since 2013 you, our wonderful supporters of Hooktown Holidays, Inc. have come together with a singular mission: to provide nutritious food, warm clothing, and other necessities of life for the children of Warren County and families in need. Every cent that we receive is returned to our community to provide assistance to those who are struggling every day. 

In 2016, thanks to your kindness and continued support we were able to, once again, provide funding to the following: 
​
• Salvation Army    • The Sharing Place 
• St. Joseph Soup Kitchen        • Area Agency on Aging    • Trinity Hot Meals Program 
• Veterans Emergency Help Fund 

In addition in 2016, we provided funding for the Warren Area High School Food Pantry. We founded food pantries and initial funding at Beaty, Eisenhower and Youngsville. Financial assistance was also provided to Sheffield High School to assist at risk students and their families during the holiday break from school. 

We were also able to provide financial support to the “Produce Express” Program which provides food to 120 income eligible families every month. 

In addition to our 3rd Annual $1,000 Academic Scholarship, your Board has approved an additional $1,000 Scholarship to a student attending a trade school. 

Regarding upcoming 2017 activities, we are planning our first garden tour this summer. We will be in the 4th of July Parade and Christmas Parade.  Of course, our Annual Garage Sale and a Chinese Auction will be a highlight that everyone looks forward to. 

As a proactive 501c3 charity we will continue to reach out even further in 2017 to those who are struggling for the basic life essentials we all deserve. We are making a difference and we are here to stay! 

Personally, I wish every one of you only the best in 2017. Have a wonderful summer!

We welcome any questions, concerns or suggestions regarding our group. Please call 814-688-9979; write to us at Hooktown Holidays, Inc., P.O. Box 1751, Warren, PA 16365; or stop at the house, 1201 Conewango Avenue. After all, it’s YOUR charity. 

Respectfully, 
Terry

A new way to donate to Hooktown Holiday's. Donate your old vehicle!

We've come up with a new way for friends to support our mission to help those in need in the Warren community. Starting now, you can donate your old unused vehicle to Hooktown Holiday's and we make it easy to do. Just give us a call and we will have the vehicle towed away at no charge to you. We will give you a tax receipt for the amount that we receive for the vehicle. So, if you've got that junker still sitting around and don't know what to do with it...please think of Hooktown Holiday's. We will   "Hook you up!"
​
Please share this with your friends and relatives.
Many Thanks!
Terry

Just wanted to share that our founder and board president, Terry Pearson, along with fellow volunteers Barry Clark and Mary Putnam were recognized by the Street Landscape Committee for Warren. When you enjoy the beautiful flowers and landscaping downtown, you know that these three dedicated volunteers have been hard at work. It's another way to give back to give back to the community we love. They are now on the move to plan for this year's work that will start as soon as the weather permits.
​
Many thanks to our wonderful volunteers!
