We have sent families, people who have had devastating and unexpected emergencies to this pantry, and they are treated with such kindness and dignity. We have watched the communities needs grow so much over these past 32 years as the community has become more and more reliant on this pantry for monthly and emergency food needs . We have recently seen and helped move this pantry into another new location. Many don't know, but this place is run almost exclusively by volunteers, who do this out of the goodness and love in their hearts. We cannot say enough, good things about how dedicated, compassionate and hard-working the volunteers of this place are. They truly are the heart of this place.

When I found out about this place through a lady who saw me passing out sandwiches, I couldn't help but extend a hand. So I called and spoke with Luis to see how I could be of assistance and find out about receiving food myself to pass out and this guy and Ms. Ludo were very informative. So me and my son got a rental, headed to the food pantry, and loaded the car up for a trip to the high desert! For those interested in helping this place will guide you every step of the way to make sure you got everything needed. From how to online guides, waiver forums, etc. They even have it mobile app friendly! Just make sure to start early if you're doing deliveries to people's houses so you can see where you're going and to beat the heat. Great bonding and learning experience for me and my son but not only that just a blessing there's a company likes this available to offer such services.

Thank you so much for our box of food today!! Side note about the line... it's very busy with a line forming at 9am. Everyone is very nice and we're all waiting patiently. But there's always that one selfish jerk lady, this one in a dark blue suv with a tan dog, squeezed her car in and cut the line out on C Ave corner. I guess she thinks she's more important than all of us. Don't let the rude line cutters in.

One of the volunteers will meet with you to unlock the gate and show you around. Volunteered w/ my coworker to help Helping Hands Pantry, specifically the gardening area. Their broccoli was ready to be harvested! One of the volunteer POCs, Paul, was kind enough to meet with me to explain the whole process. I've never harvested broccoli so this was a cool experience. All tools (knives, gloves, crates) are provided. My coworker, her daughter and I harvested 12 full crates of organic broccoli. To anyone reading this...please go to their website and sign up for a volunteer spot. This would be perfect for a school or work team building event. I challenge you to help out your local community! :) I will leave you with this... self-love is like gardening. Take time to plant yourself in sunlight and speak kind words to yourself. When you take better care of yourself, you can spread your self-love gift to the world.
