Our Story
The Helping Hand Food Pantry began in 1992 when a Boy Scout recognized the need for food assistance in the community. With the support of Hillsdale's public health nurse, a food drive was organized, leading to the establishment of a dedicated food pantry. In 1998, the Hillsdale Clergy Association united local churches to create a sustainable food distribution service, governed by a Board of Trustees. This initiative has been a beacon of hope for over 30 years, serving those in need.
