TUESDAY, 6/2

Helping Hand will continue to fire on all cylinders to serve the needs of our community this week. The line in our parking lot began to form half an hour before we were open for distribution, everyone carefully standing six feet apart. We've expanded our food pantry and assembly stations to include the upstairs of our building because of increased traffic, and as usual our dedicated team of volunteers will be serving the community Tues-Fri, 11AM-1PM while supplies last. The food insecurity in our community from COVID-19 continues to be present and consistent. We haven't seen a drop in the number of families visiting us for essential groceries yet--so Helping Hand and each one of it's volunteers are determined to be present and consistent in aid and love. Today, we're excited to give out bags of cleaning supplies along with groceries, milk, eggs, meat, and dry goods to the community. It's been a while since we've had cleaning supplies for distribution, and we're overjoyed to share them.  We are planning to serve 450-500 families again this week. We will give out approximately 5700 lbs. of food per day, bag by 40lb bag--we're also sharing dairy products and fresh fruits and vegetables thanks to the generosity of Project HOPE. Every donation, small or large, matters right now. These families suffering and surviving through COVID without the security and safety-net most of us have. This time finds them without employment, without benefits, without the stability in their bank accounts to make ends meet during a time that's already uncertain.

As a community, supporting each other makes us who we are. We could use your help this week. You can donate through our Pantry and Family Meal Fund (the blue button on the black background above!) We will continue to facilitate deliveries to the sick, elderly, and homebound. We'll also continue to provide drive-through style family meals in partnership with Huntington Assembly of God, The Friends of Huntington Station Latin Quarter, and local restaurants Wednesday and Friday afternoons. We're sanitizing regularly, social distancing, and sporting our masks. Food, cooking oil, laundry soap, paper products, soap, bleach, diapers/wipes snacks & meat are our most requested/least available items. If you would like to donate food to Helping Hand, bring it in Monday 10AM-2PM, Saturday 10AM-1PM or Tues-Fri 10AM-11AM or 1PM-2PM. We are happy to quarantine it so it will be safe for the community! We are also ALWAYS collecting diapers, wipes, formula, and cleaning supplies/hygiene item donations. If you can't drop off during the listed times, call us to make an appointment! Further information about our mission is below! A full list of our pantry needs is under the FOOD PANTRY NEEDS tab!

John 14:27
​Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

​WORKING TOGETHER

We are in our 55th Year of Service to God & Our Community.
We are grateful for the opportunity to have served God and the Huntington, NY, & Long Island community for over 54 years. Through various programs, and with the support of many wonderful people, we have been able to meet a variety of material and spiritual needs. 

Our Hope Is To Be A Blessing
It is our desire that we can continue to be a blessing to those with whom we encounter on a daily basis for many more years.  God willing and with your continued support, many people will have a better life!

How can you help?
If you are unable to come and serve with us, perhaps you could give a gift to help us help others.
 We Love The People We Serve & The Work That We Do
 We love our Huntington Station community and its beautiful families. We work hard each day to help others and to share God's love with them in a meaningful way.
 
Please take a few minutes to enjoy this photo montage of what's been happening since the middle of March 2020 and how we've been serving amidst this terrible COVID-19 Pandemic. We are happy to help and serve. You have helped us to do so much!
