Helping Others Eat Pantry
The Helping Hand Rescue Mission Pantry is serving approximately 200-250 families per week with non-perishable and fresh produce, fruit, meat and eggs, milk and bread. Thank you for helping!
Together, we are the safety-net that our community can fall back on during times of need during these times that are difficult for so many.
We have given out over 45,000 food parcels since March 21, 2020.
Helping Hand Rescue Mission partners with many schools, organizations, temples, churches, youth organizations, civic organizations, clubs, businesses, and the many individuals and families donating to our pantry. There are also so many other wonderful, compassionate people and organizations that help to provide food. We also purchase food in bulk as necessary, and we are so grateful to all of the donors who make this possible. We couldn’t do what we do without you.
Your help means more to our community than ever during these challenging, changing times.
What we wanted to happen...
We are looking forward to reopening our Community Kitchen in January 2023!
We will once again provide hot, freshly prepared meals to the hungry and those in need.
We plan to be open 2 days a week to start, Tuesdays and Thursdays during pantry hours. 11-1pm.
In the meantime, we are raising funds and purchasing meals for the hungry and distributing them on Tuesdays & Thursdays
What actually happened.
SUSPENDED OPENING
Due to the flood of 01/17/22 our kitchen is in need of a major rebuild and renovation which is going to be quite a process. You can help us to rebuild and get cooking again! Read our newsletter link for details!
