Looking for a great price for Thanksgiving feast?
1. Use your Walmart app (seams like you have to order as a pickup).
2. Type in “thanksgiving feast for 10” in the search bar.
3. Scroll down and add to cart (should equal $35)
4. When you checkout add the code: “double10” which brings the entire feast items to $25!

I verified myself—the codes and the cost. See image in the comments.

This time of year is our busiest season at Helping Hands.
>>We typically support the most families of our year during November as families strive to STRETCH their budgets for holiday wish lists.
>>We also receive incredible amounts of food and a generous outpouring of volunteers to help sort and serve as many perceive that HOLIDAYS are the only time people have needs. (This is a myth--we serve families 50 weeks of the year)
>>We see lots of stress and gratitude as families come to receive help, but we also see a HUGE outpouring of grace as our volunteers meet families with HOPE.
>>This year, we will provide all the ways we have in previous years: Turkeys to 25 families per day & shelves stocked with holiday goodies and everyday necessities. AND we're doing a new thing too! Community Thanksgiving Meal at Metro North Church. See the flyer and get involved :)

If you're looking for a place to CONNECT by lending a hand or providing the GIFT of a meal, or if you're looking for a place TO FIND A HAND UP and receive food for your family, I want to welcome you to come and see what we are doing at Helping Hands!

Helping Hands of Goose Creek has been serving families facing food insecurity since 1989. Over the past six years, the number of families turning to us for assistance has nearly tripled! We are currently serving over 600 families each month! As you can imagine, keeping up with this tremendous growth has been challenging, making community support more important than ever.

To help meet this increasing demand, we are excited to host our First Annual Empty Bowls Fundraiser on March 20, 2027. Our goal is to raise $100,000 to help sustain and expand our ability to serve families who struggle to put food on their tables.

To help meet this growing need, we are excited to host our First Annual Empty Bowls Fundraiser on March 20, 2027! There are several ways you and your organization can get involved and make a meaningful impact:

1. Become a Sponsor

Sponsorship is one of the most impactful ways to support our fundraiser. I've attached our event brochure, which outlines the various sponsorship levels and opportunities. The deadline to secure a sponsorship is January 15, 2027. We would be thrilled to have you partner with us!

2. Host a Bowl Painting Party

One of the most unique and meaningful aspects of our fundraiser is the "Empty Bowls" theme, which serves as a powerful reminder that not everyone has enough food to fill their bowl.

Each guest attending our fundraiser will select a hand-painted ceramic bowl to take home as a lasting reminder of the families in our community facing hunger.

In preparation for the event, we're inviting businesses, coworkers, families, friends, and community groups to host bowl painting parties! The cost is just $20 per bowl, and we provide all the supplies. All you need to do is gather your group, enjoy some creative fun, and help make a difference! The completed bowls are then donated to our fundraiser.

3. Donate to Our Silent Auction

We are also seeking donations of items, gift baskets, experiences, or services for our silent auction. This is another wonderful opportunity for businesses to contribute while helping us raise much-needed funds.

Our Empty Bowls fundraiser will bring together local businesses, community leaders, and residents for a meaningful event featuring soups donated by local restaurants and hand-painted ceramic bowls created by community volunteers. Each attendee will take home a bowl as a lasting reminder that not everyone has enough food to fill theirs.

If you are interested in supporting our mission, please contact our fundraising chair: [email protected]
