Helping Hands Food Pantry and Crisis Shelter in Knoxville has been helping those in need for 40 years. They started in 1982 by the ministers of the Knoxville area churches. Over the years, Helping Hands has tried to take care of people in Knoxville, Bussey , Columbia , Pleasantville, Tracy and Harvey areas with holiday baskets.

Helping Hands Food Pantry, once again is serving as a clearing house for providing names of families in need, to interested community organizations, churches and individuals who wish to provide holiday food baskets, either for Thanksgiving or Christmas.

If you wish to have Helping Hands provide the baskets, please help with money, turkeys, hams and canned-goods. For more information call Chuck Galeazzi at Helping Hands, 641-842-4524.
