Englewood Helping Hand, a non-profit agency serving residents in the Englewood area, is currently in urgent need of non-perishable food donations. This program aims to assist individuals and families who face food deprivation, providing essential grocery items, household supplies, and personal hygiene products.
Donations can be conveniently placed in the blue barrels located at the Englewood Post Office, Crews Bank, and the Lighthouse United Methodist Church. These blue barrels are part of a community initiative spearheaded by the Lighthouse United Methodist Church, which collaborates closely with Englewood Helping Hand to address local food insecurity.
The demand for support has increased significantly, yet the number of donations has decreased compared to previous seasons. Englewood Helping Hand not only provides food but also offers financial assistance with utility bills and referrals to other appropriate agencies and services.
“We are seeing a growing need in our community,” said a representative of Englewood Helping Hand. The organization encourages local residents to contribute to this vital effort, highlighting that every donation, no matter how small, can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those in need.
As the program continues to support vulnerable populations, community engagement becomes crucial. Individuals interested in helping can contribute by placing non-perishable items such as canned goods, pasta, and toiletries in the designated blue barrels.
Englewood Helping Hand’s mission is to foster a supportive environment for all residents. By working together, the community can ensure that everyone has access to the basic necessities of life. The need for donations is pressing, and residents are encouraged to act swiftly to help their neighbors during this critical time.
