A non-profit organization founded in 1987 by five local churches (Dallas First Baptist, Dallas First UMC, New Canaan Baptist, New Hope Baptist, and Poplar Springs Baptist Church) who formed a partnership to battle the effects of poverty and hunger. From these humble beginnings we have grown into a multi-faceted agency assisting our neighbors of low income with their basic needs. Helping Hands is a vital coalition of churches, businesses, civic groups and caring individuals representing community partnership at its very best.
