HELPING HANDS FOOD PANTRY
"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in..." (Matthew 25:35)
The Helping Hands Food Pantry, located in the lower level of Salem House, began operations in 1992. It is staffed by volunteers from several local churches - including Fork United Methodist, Grace Community, Franklinville Presbyterian, St. John's Episcopal Church, St. Stephen Roman Catholic, St. Paul's Lutheran, and Salem United Methodist.
Currently, the pantry is open Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10 a.m -12 p.m.. In addition to regular food distribution, additional bags of food are given for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
For fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, Helping Hands was able to provide assistance to 577 families (1503 adults and 627 children) thanks to generous support from the Maryland Food Bank (monthly) as well as businesses, schools, churches, and individuals.
