Helping Hands Thrift Store / Valley Lions Club

In 2004 teachers at the Valley School identified a need in our community — an increasing number of students lacking access to affordable clothes. They assembled an action team and the Helping Hands Thrift Store in Hazelton was created. The Valley Lions Club was then chartered to operate the store on behalf of Helping Hands Thrift Store, Inc., a partnership that continues today.
When something positive happens in the community, the Lions want to be involved. In addition to the thrift store, the club organizes community events like the annual summer Celebration and candidate forums, as well as partnering with other community groups on projects that make Eden, Hazelton, and Murtaugh great places to live.
