History

Helping Hands Ministry was founded in 1995 by the Belton Ministers’ Fellowship, an ecumenical gathering of local ministers, to serve the Belton community with a centralized food pantry. In the beginning, individuals from several local churches volunteered their time to serve 30 families in the basement of First United Methodist Church of Belton. The pantry later moved to First Christian Church - Belton, then eventually relocated to a house on West Avenue D. In November 20-8, Helping Hands Ministry moved to its current location at 2210 Holland Road.

Today, Helping Hands Ministry continues to be supported by 29 local churches of many denominations. Each month, Helping Hands Ministry provides support to over 2,600 of our neighbors through the weekly commitment of more than 85 volunteers and staff.
