"There
is no reason in our fast growing county for anyone to go to bed
hungry, without a roof over their heads, to be deprived of needed
medical care or go to work or school in tattered clothing. You can
help this be a reality by supporting Helping Hands.”
- Dr. Bruce Paton
Director Emeritus
The Board of Directors meets on the 4th Monday of every month at 6:00
