Helping Hands Resale Shoppe will celebrate its fourth birthday in Peoria Heights from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 4 with an event at its Heights’ storefront, 1005 E. War Memorial Drive.

The charitable organization will be giving away $200 grants every 30 minutes to non-profits that are represented in person.

A designated 501(c)(3), Helping Hands was founded in 2010 to generate funds for local and international charities through the sale of donated goods. Each week, a ministry or charity is picked as a recipient. In addition to the Heights store, Helping Hands also has resale locations in Chillicothe and Canton. Tens of thousands of dollars are raised annually to help the needy in those communities.

The Heights store is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Donations may be made during open hours only.
