Thank you Sunfield United Brethren Church for inviting Helping Hands Food Pantry to speak to your congregation.

Executive Director, Amanda Thompson was able to share her story of why the pantry matters so much to her and so many families.

It truly is an honor to share the mission and vision of our pantry with the greater Mid-Michigan area; as we have families throughout the state.

If you would like one of us to speak with your church, group, club, or organization, please reach out to (517) 543-8737 or email [email protected].

We are so grateful for all of The Quarry crew and their hard work growing the produce in the garden. After harvesting, all of this produce was distributed to families yesterday.

Thank you to the Auvenshine kids for washing the dirt off, and Adam and Chad for dropping it off to Helping Hands Food Pantry.

This truly is what community is all about.

Our families say, "Thank You"!
