Their efforts brought in about 2,205 pounds of food for the pantry, according to Sherry Hamm, the non-profit agency’s Director of Assistance and Referral.

If you are interested in organizing a food drive for Helping Hands, please: select a date, a central location for collecting and storing food and determine how food will be collected (door-to-door, shopping, etc.). Then check with Helping Hands for a list of foods needed in the pantry at that time. Contact the agency’s business office at 972-771-4357, ext. 221 for more information. Your help will make a difference in the lives of Rockwall families in crisis.
