History:

HHGC opened a food pantry in 1989 to distribute emergency food to families in crisis situations.  Our center (photo) has been in continuous operation since.  Services have varied and numerous special assistance projects have been accomplished during our years of operation.  Food distribution, however, remains the primary focus of the organization.

HHGC has had the support of the community and the local Clergy Association and numerous volunteers since the beginning.
