​​Helping Others Eat Pantry

The Helping Hand Rescue Mission Pantry is serving 200+ families per week with non-perishable and fresh produce, fruit, meat, eggs (as available), milk (as available) and bread. ​Thank you for helping!

​Together, we are the safety-net that our community can fall back on during times of need during these times that are difficult for so many.

We have given out over 100,000 food parcels since March 21, 2020.

Helping Hand Rescue Mission partners with many schools, organizations, temples, churches, youth organizations, civic organizations, clubs, businesses, and the many individuals and families donating to our pantry. There are also so many other wonderful, compassionate people and organizations that help to provide food. We also purchase food in bulk as each week including fresh milk. We are so grateful to all of the donors who make this possible.

We simply couldn’t do what we do without you. Your help means more to our community now than ever during these challenging, changing times.

​Our Community Kitchen is 85% complete and is still in need of final stage funding to complete this project.

We will once again provide hot, freshly prepared meals for the hungry and those in need when it is finished!

Baby Blessings-Changing Little Lives...

Baby Blessings provides over 160 families each month with children under 3 with diapers, baby clothes, other baby supplies, and continental breakfast. It is hosted by Helping Hand Rescue Mission at the Huntington Assembly of God every third Tuesday of the month unless otherwise noted. We are so thankful for those who partner with us from the Family Service League, the Allied Foundation, as well as the many supporters who make this unique outreach possible. This event means so much to the families and little babies in our community as 1 in 3 families struggle with diaper need which is a significant cause of stress for both children and parents. Lack of proper diaper supply can lead to unwanted health conditions and anxiety. Babies need about eight changes per day, and having a sufficient number of diapers for a child quickly becomes a significant financial pressure on families that are just doing their best.

Baby Blessings donations include all formulas (not expired), baby food (not expired), new breast pumps and feeding accessories, new and gently used baby clothing size newborn through 5T, small baby equipment, strollers, pack and plays, bassinets, diapers, wipes, and baby toys. We also accept baby receiving blankets, bibs, and swaddlers.

If you have a crib to donate, please call us at 631-351-6996 to see if we are currently accepting them before donating.

Baby Blessings is held indoors at Huntington Assembly on the 3rd Tuesday of each month unless otherwise noted. 

We are CHANGING LITTLE LIVES TOGETHER :) 

Community Closet

We're providing clothes for local families in need.

​The Helping Hand Rescue Mission Community Closet provides new and gently used seasonally-appropriate clothing to anyone in need during our pantry distribution hours--thanks to the wonderful donors in our community that gather these items to be shared. We are currently holding our Community Closet outdoors most every day as weather permits simply because we are serving too many families to hold distributions inside of our building. 

Appropriate clothing can be a genuinely difficult expense for families, especially since most have children that are always growing.They are truly grateful to receive the clothes they need, and we are grateful to help to provide them. 

We accept seasonally appropriate clothing that has been 

• freshly washed, 
• sorted by size and gender, 
• and placed on hangers or in clear plastic bags or grocery bags 
• during our donation hours. 

Helping Hand Rescue Mission is still focusing its energies and the space in its building on meeting the greatly increased food need. Having clean clothes donated that are freshly laundered, sorted and ready to go out to the people makes the Community Closet possible, and we are so thankful for all the love that people put into getting these items ready for new homes. We accept all sizes, from infant to adult. We are not able to accept out of season clothing (except for newborn to 5T due to storage issues).
Please make sure all donated socks and underwear are new!
