Helping Hands for Jesus provides food assistance to an average of 300+ families per month. We are able to feed a family of 4 for a month for around $28.
The families that come to our center are as diverse as the paths that lead them here. We assist the elderly in stretching their fixed incomes far enough to afford life's necessities and have groceries in their homes. We meet many young families fighting the financial insecurities often seen as new families are started.
Sharing Christ's love with these families in their time of need creates a very unique opportunity for discipleship to families that may have never visited a church or had an earnest talk about Jesus before.
We are supported, in part, by a growing list of local churches from a variety of Christian faiths to accomplish one goal: feed the physical and spiritual needs of our community.
Our Needs
We are raising funds to replace our front door in an effort to make our new drive-through food delivery system easier on our volunteers.
Mission
Alvarado Helping Hands for Jesus was developed in 1997 as area churches and community leaders recognized the need for a local ministry to assist families, both in spiritual and physical sustenance. We are a Christ-driven ministry that is faithfully committed to enhancing lives in our community through evangelism and discipleship, nutrition education, food assistance, and by providing availability to other resources and community services.
Our vision is to help build sustainability in the lives of our clients, as we promote success by showing the love of Jesus Christ. We currently serve the areas of Alvarado, Grandview, Venus, and Lillian in Johnson County, Texas.
