No one in our community should go without a meal, a friend, or a hand to hold.
Since 2009 we've run the food pantry, after-school meals, and family support programs that keep this neighborhood whole.
A community that shows up for each other
Open hands, full hearts, a stronger neighborhood.
The Open Hands Foundation feeds families, funds local programs, and turns everyday neighbors into a force for good. Your time and gifts make it real.

About us
Built by neighbors, for neighbors.
Open Hands started in a church basement with three folding tables and a promise: that anyone who walked through the door hungry would leave with a full bag and a kind word.
Fifteen years later we run a year-round pantry, a hot-meal program, school-break lunch drives, and an emergency family fund — all powered by local volunteers and local generosity. We keep our overhead lean so more of every dollar reaches the table.
Dignity first
Every neighbor is welcomed as a guest, never a case number.
Every dollar counts
91 cents of each dollar goes straight to programs.
Ways to help
Three ways to make a difference this week.
Whatever you have to give — an hour, a gift, or a shout to your network — there's a place for you here.
Give a gift
One-time or monthly, your donation buys groceries, fuels meal vans, and keeps the lights on at the pantry.
