HE Lifts Me UP, is our annual Fund Raiser. We want to raise awareness of the works of the Merciful HELP Center. It’s a community-wide event to raise needed funds for the MHC

The Hamilton family has been volunteering for the MHC for about 15 years. The CommUNITY Care Day program was always the one in which the whole family participated together and grew to love. They have volunteered as a family coordinator and also helped with the food donations. Their youngest child, Crush, who is now thirteen, has grown up around the Merciful Help Center.

The family has embraced volunteerism in all aspects of their lives. Being the youngest of four children, Crush watched his siblings volunteer in other community and school events. He was always giving Mrs. Slaton ideas of things he thought she needed at the Pantry, like forklifts, or ideas of how to raise money.

In the spring of 2015, Crush proposed his newest idea to Mrs. Slaton, a “DanceRaiser.” He had even named it “HE Lifts Me UP.” She liked it and encouraged him to put a plan together.

Over the last several years Crush and a team of energetic students grades 5th through 12th have been fine-tuning a fund raiser called, HE Lifts Me UP.  In 2019 it was in the form of a kids carnival. This youth-inspired and created event includes fun, games, fellowship, and family!
