Helping Hands of Paulding County - Reaching Out to those in Need
Paulding County Helping Hands is a non-profit organization originally founded in 1987 by five local churches as an emergency food organization. Today, Helping Hands consists of church, community and professional people working together to provide temporary emergency aid to those Paulding residents in needs. Because of the generous involvement of their volunteers for the past 23 years, they are now able provide help with other necessities on a limited basis.
Helping Hands is working to foster a caring atmosphere for anyone experiencing temporary or emergency struggles due to a crisis situation. It is their desire that God's love reaches out through Helping Hands to serve those that have fallen through the cracks and assist with immediate needs while respecting individual dignity.
Helping Hands provides a variety of services. They provide food for qualifying families or individuals up to six (6) times per calendar year. In addition, they provided perishable food items such as bread, pastries and produce, as available. Helping Hands of Paulding County is an Atlanta Community Food Bank partner agency.
They also assist families who need help with utilities, rent and prescription medicines. Each application is reviewed on a case by case basis and the availability of funds varies throughout the year.
Their goal is to not only meet the physical needs of the community, but to encourage and assist with spiritual needs as well. In doing so, they can also provide prayer and Bibles.
