Hearts to Serve & Hope to Spread
Volunteers are the solid foundation to our organization. We have over 80 volunteers who work in a variety of tasks to keep The Helping Hand of Warren County safe, clean, happy and giving.
Our volunteers take great pride in our facility and their service to our clients. It is not unusual for our clients to call our volunteers by name and our volunteers to acknowledge our clients by their names. We have lots of volunteers that work the front lines and other that chose to work behind the scenes.

Food Recovery
In the Spring of 2019, we started contacting local grocery stores about food waste and food recovery. Our volunteers drive and pick up food from local stores and deliver the food to the food pantry and community refrigerators.

Grow and Give
Help cultivate fresh fruits and vegetables year long with our Hydroponic Growing System. This system comes fully equipped with a STEM curriculum and education component for our younger clients to engage and become a part of the process of healthy living.
Transportation
The volunteer members of this team lift boxes and they load and unload a variety of trucks containing food, clothing, dry goods and other items that are delivered to our facility or out to our community. Several of our team members have been approved and trained to drive our Refrigerated Truck for pick up and delivery purposes.
