This is amazing! Thank you Full Circle Hinton for your support! We're partnering with SCOPE Online Auction & Garage Sale in Edson in the near future to bring the adult day program to Hinton with support from FCSS - Hinton. Details to follow when we get it all sorted. It's very exciting for our organization and our community. This gift will be used right in our community! Grateful for such initiatives that make Hinton prosper!

Any and all who can fill this out, please do! This is serious business about the changes the Alberta government is implementing regarding disability, AISH and the new program ADAP.

Share your feedback to help shape the Alberta Disability Assistance Program (ADAP).

🌿✨ Introducing Respite & Independent Living Support from Sparkle & Shine ✨🌿

Over the past five years, I’ve had the honour of working one-on-one with individuals with disabilities, supporting them in their daily lives, helping them stay independent, and building meaningful relationships along the way.

Now, as Sparkle & Shine continues to grow, I’m proud to introduce a new service that reflects both my experience and my heart:

💛 Respite & Independent Living Support Services 💛

This program is designed for families and individuals who need non-medical, in-home support—whether that’s:
✔️ A few hours of companionship or check-ins
✔️ Help with light household tasks like laundry, dishes, or organization
✔️ Meal prep or grocery runs
✔️ Errands or appointment assistance
✔️ Or simply a trustworthy presence to give family caregivers a well-deserved break.

This service fits naturally alongside our homemaking and cleaning support—offering peace of mind and genuine care to those wanting to remain independent and supported at home.

If you or someone you know could benefit from a bit of extra help, or if you’re a caregiver needing a break, I’d love to chat and see how Sparkle & Shine can support you. 💫

📍Serving Hinton + surrounding areas
📬 Message us here or email: Sparkleandshine_2023@hotmail.com
🕒 Flexible daytime availability

Because every family deserves a little breathing room—and a lot of heart. 💛

HANDS worked with local small business KZ Creations to put together some fresh summer t-shirts and they turned out so nice!

Thank you KZ Creations, your attention to detail is phenomenal! We can't wait to showcase the shirts at the Tourmaline Gold Tournament on Thursday August 7th!

Thank you to my local to me model 😉🥰 (Holly)

Each year, Tourmaline proudly hosts a company golf tournament featuring a raffle table with prizes to be won. The proceeds from these raffles are donated to support local charities within Toumaline communities.

For the 2025 Tourmaline Hinton Golf Tournament, Tourmaline has graciously selected HANDS and the Hinton Parents for Play/Hinton Indoor Playground to be the donees of a portion of their raffle proceeds!

We are very grateful for this opportunity and members of the HANDS board will be present on Thursday August 7th at 4:30 p.m. for the evening.
