Mission Statement

The mission of Helping in His Name Ministries, Inc. (The Food Pantry) is to model the love and compassion of Jesus Christ by providing food to the hungry and needy people of Henry County.This mission is to be carried out by an entirely volunteer work force using donated food and money. Our mission is usually short term, "stop-gap" help; long term relief is to be usually outside the scope of our mission. In all cases, modeling the loving and compassionate character of Jesus is to be as much a part of our mission as the tangible food that we give.

Adopted by "Helping in His Name Ministries, Inc." Board of Directors, 1998

About Us

Helping In His Name Ministries, Inc., usually referred to as "The Food Pantry", is an ecumenical, non-profit organization that provides temporary emergency help to the unemployed, the underemployed, to elderly people on fixed incomes, and single parents on a weekly or monthly basis. No one with a legitimate need is refused help.

Since its inception in 1990, The Food Pantry has grown significantly. We currently feed more than 2300 people every month who are less fortunate. Although we are an emergency or crisis center, often we are able to help single parents change the course of their lives and move out of the unfortunate situations in which they find themselves.

Many elderly people on fixed incomes are unable to purchase adequate food due to high medical expenses, so we are able to supplement their food supply on a monthly basis. This also includes USDA food commodities. We also offer information on other agencies, both governmental and non-profit, which may assist in other areas.

Feeding more than 2300 people every month requires not only the dedication of loyal volunteers and financial input from many sources, but also a facility in which to store the food and serve the people whom we help. We depend completely on donations of food and money for our operation. There are two salaried positions and operating costs are kept to a minimum.

The Food Pantry is open five days a week.  Saturday hours are staffed from 9am - Noon to restock the pantry shelves. The Pantry is staffed by more than a hundred volunteers with a sixteen member Board of Directors in place. Volunteers come from all walks of life to follow the teaching of Jesus to minister to the needs of others.

We invite you to join us in this ministry through your prayers, volunteer service, and donations.
