Impact Story: Local Seniors overjoyed Through Our Programs

 

We recently had the privilege of assisting several families through a grant we received " Meals on Wheels" Through our emergency food assistance program and connections to local support services, we helped to secure stable meals to many seniors.  Many seniors shared, "Helping Hands Family Aid truly showed their kindness and went above and beyond. We are so grateful for the support and kindness we received."

Our latest work

Recently, Helping Hands Food Bank distributed 270 bags of vegetables and eggs, marking a significant milestone in our efforts to support the community. We are deeply grateful to our volunteers who selflessly devoted their time to packaging the vegetables and distributing them to those in need. The remaining items will be utilized within our Foodbank. It is likely that other Food Banks in the area also received these items and we encourage those still inquiring to reach out to these organizations. Since we started we have distributed vegetables and eggs on three occasions, benefiting over 650 families. Moving forward we kindly request that our volunteers be treated with the respect and dignity they deserve for their outstanding contributions. Thank you.

More Updates coming soon!

We are always striving to do more and share our journey with you. Whether it's new programs, volunteer spotlights, or impact stories, you can expect regular updates here. Thank you for your continued support!
