A huge thank you to .auto โ€” Back in the Saddle Auto, Cochrane, for helping keep the Helping Hands van safely on the road! ๐Ÿš

The team recently completed an oil change on our van, helping ensure it remains reliable for the many programs and services that support our community every day.

From transporting food and supplies to supporting volunteers and community initiatives, our van plays an important role in helping us connect with neighbours across Cochrane and area.

We are incredibly grateful for community partners like Back in the Saddle Auto who help make our work possible. Thank you for keeping us rolling and helping us continue to serve our community! ๐Ÿ”งโœจ

โ˜€๏ธ Join the Summer Do Crew! ๐ŸŒฑ

Looking for a meaningful way to give back this summer?

Our Summer Do Crew volunteers help community members who are unable to manage their own yard work due to age, illness, injury, or medical conditions. Whether it's mowing a lawn, pulling weeds, or helping tidy up a garden, these simple acts of kindness make a huge difference.

The best part? You can volunteer in a way that fits your schedule. Help with a one-time project or provide ongoing support throughout the season.

A little time outdoors. A big impact in someone's life. ๐Ÿ’›

Interested in joining the Summer Do Crew? We'd love to hear from you!

What a wonderful start to Farmers Market season! ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ’›

Helping Hands was thrilled to be part of the first Cochrane Farmers Market of the year and connect with so many familiar faces and new community members.

Events like the Farmers Market are a great reminder of what makes Cochrane so special โ€” neighbours supporting neighbours, local organizations coming together, and a shared commitment to building a strong, connected community.

Be sure to stop by and say hello! We'll be at the Farmers Market all season long, sharing information about our programs, volunteer opportunities, and the many ways we work together to support our community.

We can't wait to see you again soon! ๐ŸŒป

Perfectly good food shouldnโ€™t end up in the garbage ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ

Through our Food Rescue program, Helping Hands rescues more than 7,000kg of food every month, redirecting it to our Free Food Sheds and into the hands of neighbours who need it most.

By reducing food waste and increasing food access, this program helps strengthen both our community and our environment.

Take what you need. Leave what you can. Thatโ€™s community in action ๐Ÿ’›

Did you know Helping Hands rescues more than 7,000kg of food every month? ๐Ÿ’š

Our Food Rescue program helps redirect perfectly good food that would otherwise go to waste and redistributes it through our Free Food Sheds and community supports.

Itโ€™s all part of building a stronger, more connected community โ€” one meal, one volunteer, and one act of kindness at a time ๐ŸŒฑ
