What People Are Saying
I came to Hands of Hope to help my wife. The provision of food helps us make it through the month. The volunteers always make me feel welcomed and I always feel good when I leave the pantry.

I am very grateful to Hands of Hope for the help they have given me. I lost my husband and I am a widow. I have four children and it is very difficult for me. The food I receive from the pantry helps us a lot. Many thanks to them for helping many people like me. Thank you so much!

Hands of Hope means to me that I can stay alive one more month at a time. My mother and father have passed away and I have no brothers or sisters. Life is tough when you don’t have anyone, but I have Hands of Hope!

I can’t say enough about how Hands of Hope had helped my family at a time of severe and long felt hardship on a spiritual level. Hands of Hope has provided food for my family, holiday meals and daily inspiration. They never treat you like you are less of a person and we are always greeted warmly and with honor.

I started serving at Hands of Hope when I came to Evangel in 2019. I enjoy helping people and it gives me a wonderful feeling seeing the smiles on client’s faces when they walk out of Hands of Hope. Working with the other volunteers and my church lets me know that I have purpose.

I found out about Hands of Hope when my husband lost his job and we had a baby. This pantry has really helped us with our food needs during our time of hardship. We are so thankful for this pantry for helping us and all the other families in need. Thank you.

I am a senior citizen on social security. I have been coming to Hands of Hope for several years now. The provision of food helps my food budget and allows me to help others who have less than myself. Thank you for all you do!
