The pantry later moved to First Christian Church in Belton, then eventually relocated to a house at 1009 West Avenue D. In November 2008, Helping Hands Ministry moved to its current location at 2210 Holland Road.

Days for Girls

Kits include soap, washcloths, a pair of underwear, shields & liners and instructions for their use and care.
