Vision and Mission • “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of

mine, you did for me.’ Matthew 25:40 (NIV)

Vision Statement Helping Hands Outreach Ministry is a faith based ministry committed to being a 24/7 outreach ministry to the community by helping those in need regardless of their circumstance.

Mission Statement Is to share God’s love by reaching out to every need in this community by empowering lives, creating opportunities, and strengthening the bonds that will provide hope and healing by sharing God’s love with each individual that we get the opportunity to minister to within our community.

Who We Serve We strive to provide food for children, homework help, love, and guidance to every individual with a need in this community, regardless of race, gender, age, ethnicity, religion, or social background. We are committed to empowering lives for those that suffer from addictions, such as alcohol or drug dependency, loss of jobs, and depression.

Hunger is Real

• For many kids, lunch at school may be the last meal they eat until they're back in class the next morning or after the weekend. But no child should go to bed hungry.

What will you do?• This year, the United States reached a painful milestone. For the first

time ever, over half the public school students in this country are from low-income families.• In every community, kids are coming to school hungry, making it

almost impossible for them to succeed. • They come to school very weak and tired due to lack of food on the

weekends.

The Problem

1 in 5 U.S. Kids Don't Get the Food They Need

Page 6: Helping Hands 2 presentation copy

Truth• 1 in 5 kids in America doesn't get the food they need every day. This

takes a terrible toll on their health and development, and threatens their futures in profound ways. It also drags down our nation's economy by perpetuating the cycle of poverty.

What about Summer Months ?Helping Hands Outreach volunteers work hard to get bags fixed and delivered every other week during the summer While we strive to feed every child it is impossible to feed them all due to limited funds.

What we Do• A teacher told me once that she noticed that a child was not acting

right they were very weak , very tired, and pretty much not focusing on school and she asked him what was wrong and the child said they had not ate anything the whole weekend. That is where Helping Hands Outreach comes in and makes sure these kids are getting what they need to survive the weekend.

Pack a Bag• We start with the smallest of these who want to help others and bring

joy into the homes once again.

“for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’ “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’”Matthew 25:35-40 NKJV
