Community Through Connection

Mission Statement:

We aim to help reduce food insecurity in the Grande Prairie region by providing healthy nutrition with dignity; increasing inclusivity, supporting families, and fighting poverty by facilitating wholesome meal hampers. 

Strengthening children’s education with back-to-school hampers and enhancing learning through nutritious food offered in school snack hampers. 

Elevating community spirit with traditional seasonal food hampers during Easter and Thanksgiving; with a main focus on making magic happen for thousands of people through Christmas hampers.

“Food security exists when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life.” 1996 World Summit

Our mission aims to improve food security for the people of the Grande Prairie region.

Why We Help:

Helping Hands began as a small project, aiming to pay forward the generosity shown to our founder.  Jennifer wanted to help others in the community who were also struggling.  Since 2013, it has taken on a life of its own, involving countless amazing donors, businesses, volunteers, and hearts in our community.  We are so thankful!

Help Keep Our Pantry Full

Did you know we provide healthy nutrition with dignity to between 5-10 families in our community each week?  It is through your generous donations that we are able to make this happen. Unsure of what to give?  These are items we use every week, rain or shine, and need to help keep our pantry fully functioning.
