Helping Hand Food Pantry
We are helping people in our community
to fight hunger.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Helping Hand’s Mission
Statement
Helping
Hand is a program supported by the congregation of this church. We supply food to people of our community on
an emergency basis. Other area churches
and local organizations participate in this program by providing additional
food and monetary donations that assist us in keeping the church pantry
supplied. These are our sole sources of
assistance to aid those who come to us in need.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Helping Hand Food
Pantry is open on the first and third Wednesdays from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon.* If it is your first time,
please come before 11:30 a.m. To qualify to receive food from the pantry, a picture I.D. is required. Only one person
per household (per address) is eligible to apply for assistance for the
family. Eligible participants can
receive food from the pantry once every other
month**.
*may be closed due to
bad weather, or a church event; it’s best to call ahead
**subject to change
depending on food supply
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since
1989, the food pantry has served an increasing number of families every year
and remains committed to addressing food insecurity in southeast Michigan
where, as many as 1 in 7, households struggle to put food on the table.
During the Covid-19 Pandemic, we have maintained our food distribution.
We developed a contact-less delivery system for the protection of our clients and our workers.
