MVHT is a fundraiser for the Helping Hands Fund. The first event, held in 2018, raised more than $6,000 for the fund, a non-profit ministry supported by the Mission Valley Ministerial Association. The fund administrator says “we try to make sure that our babies, children, elderly, disabled, and generally the neediest of needy are being served.” HHF works with people seeking basic needs such as food, gas and personal care items. The program is growing. Two of the most recent additions include the Baby Box Project, which provides a safe sleep space for every infant born in the county, and the Backpack Project, which works with the local Polson Police Department and provides items for children displaced in drug raids.
