SUMMER SUPPLEMENT BAGS!
Throughout the summer, our clients with school-aged kids need more food than they do during the school year. To help fill this gap, Helping Hands distributes supplement bags filled with variety of easy-to-prepare food for kid-friendly meals/snacks. To help keep these supplemental bags full, these are the items we most need:
-
Fruit Cups (4pk) – any variety
-
Canned Fruit – any variety
-
Kids protein bars
-
Granola bars
-
Small bags of chips
-
Mac n’ Cheese
-
Canned Refried Beans
-
Peanut Butter
-
Tuna Fish
We accept all brands, but ask that food in not expired.
Please visit us in the pantry during normal distribution hours if we can be of assistance to you and your family.

FOOD DISTRIBUTION
Helping The Community
Food distribution occurs weekly on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
We are very grateful for our many dedicated volunteers who help stock and organize the pantry every week
so that we can offer healthy and fresh options to our clients.
If you would like to find out more about ways you can help, please contact us.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Reinforcing Stability
Struggling to put food on the table often signals a larger struggle with more than hunger.
A paycheck that covers the house payment might barely stretch far enough to afford the fuel it takes to get to the job
or keep the lights on at home.
So, what happens when an unexpected expense comes up?
Helping Hands is here.
Our Social Services volunteer team helps assess needs
and provides our clients with assistance to help stabilize their lives.

SPECIAL PROJECTS
A Whole Person Commitment
With our organization’s mission always in mind, we strive to find new strategies
to provide a framework of compassionate care.
These special projects help us meet this challenge.
(Summer) Supplement Bags
In summer, our clients with school-aged kids need more food than they do during the school year.
So, in addition to our regular distribution amounts, Helping Hands supplies weekly supplement bags
to these families to help meet this need. Periodically throughout the year supplement bags are also distributed.
School Supply Drive
With community partners, we gather and distribute school supplies
to our clients with students in DSISD every August.
Turkey Dinners
In cooperation with Hays County Food Bank and other community partners,
we gather and distribute full turkey dinners for families at Thanksgiving.
Project Elf
This is a culmination of loving efforts by this entire town...
businesses, public and private schools, community groups, churches, and individuals
come together to provide presents for our clients to help make their holidays more magical.
