ur Mission. Conscious of our duty to God
and our fellow man, we pledge our hearts
to Jesus Christ and covenant to yield to the Holy

crimination, to minister to those He places in our
path.
Who We Are…
Open Hands United Christian Ministry is a collaborative
effort by member churches and the community through
which services are provided to those in need in Carroll
County.
Churches that commit to partner in this ministry provide
prayer support, volunteers, and financial support. In
addition, many individuals and civic groups participate
through their generous donations of food, financial
support and services.
Over 200 caring volunteers are led by Sue McGukin,
Executive Director of Open Hands.
Available services include:Food Assistance; Financial
Assistance, primarily for housing & utilities, but also for
emergency assistance; Bibles and Prayer Support;
Reading Glasses;Personal Care Items (Soap,
Toothbrushes, Toothpaste). Open Hands also assists our
guests with other services through referrals to agencies
we work with.
Open Hands is a partner agency of the Atlanta
Community Food Bank.
Who We Serve…
Since beginning in September 2011, Open Hands has
been blessed with the resources to be able to assist those
in need in our community. Today, we help about 400
families per month with food and financial assistance,
along with other support.
But facts and figures can’t tell you the stories of those
that have come through our doors. Through personal
interviews, we try to get to know our guests and
understand their needs so that we may be able to assist
them in the best way possible.

One little boy pulled on
the sleeve of a volunteer and
asked if he was going to get
some food since he was
hungry.
A mom with a decent job
who’s husband left and
drained their bank account.
She and her three sons were
sleeping in the same bed for
warmth as she couldn’t
afford heat.
