Babcock is the chairman of Helping Hands and said that this time of year, their mission is very simple: “To help kids and families at Christmas that are in need of food and clothes.” They team up with the PEAK Foundation who organizes the Giving Tree for the area and help as many people as financially possible from the Missoula area through Mineral County.
