Together We Can Make a Difference
Boca Helping Hands is a community-based organization whose mission is solving hunger and crisis situations for the most needy. They run a soup kitchen, a food pantry, supply meals to the homebound and provide over 7,000 sandwiches per month to children in low-income after school programs. They also provide limited crisis assistance and help with job mentoring. They work at providing solutions to hunger and poverty in assisting low-income families, the elderly and the homeless in becoming self-reliant. Volunteers are a huge source of manpower in helping to make a difference. The Food Center has been in operation for 8 years, is open 5 days per week and serves an average of 133 meals per day.
Our Involvement
HOT’s first grant to Boca Helping Hands was for a freezer for the Food Center. Their wish list includes the on-going needs and supplies for the food pantry and sandwich program.
