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.
