Helping Hands Howard City – Sharing the Mission in Howard City 

Helping Hands Howard City: In episode 121 of the Discover Montcalm Podcast, we dive into the incredible story of Helping Hands, an organization that has been serving the Tri-County area since 1991. What began as a mission to show Christian love and compassion by providing food to those in need has grown into a vital resource for the community, addressing not only hunger but also offering hope and support.


The History of Helping Hands

Founded in 1991, Helping Hands was created as a unified effort by the Tri-County area churches to minister to those less fortunate in the community. Rooted in Christian values, the organization believes that an active relationship with God, through faith in Jesus Christ, is essential for a truly successful life.

From its location in Howard City, they provide emergency food assistance, referrals for counseling, and opportunities for others to serve. Over the years, it has become a beacon of hope for individuals and families facing difficult times, reminding them they are not alone.

Operating hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 10 AM to 2 PM, making it accessible to those in need.  visit their website at helpinghandshc.org

How You Can Help

There are three powerful ways you can provide support:

  1. Pray
    Poverty persists even in wealthy countries, and prayer is a powerful way to support those in need and the individuals and organizations working to make a difference.
  2. Volunteer
    Helping Hands thrives on the dedication of volunteers. Whether assisting at their food pantry or helping with events, your time and skills can make a significant impact. Check their Events page for opportunities to get involved or call 231-937-5177.
  3. Give
    Donations of money and supplies are critical to Helping Hands’ mission. Every dollar goes toward purchasing food at reduced costs, thanks to partnerships with local businesses.

The Heart of Helping Hands

What sets Helping Hands apart is its unwavering commitment to serving people with dignity and compassion. For this organization, the client always comes first, and their work is grounded in love, faith, and the belief that by coming together, we can create meaningful change.
