Our operations are sustained entirely by volunteers, allowing us to maintain administrative costs at less than 1/2 of 1%. No member of our organization receives a salary. In 2025, an average of 79 volunteers contributed over 39,000 hours of service, ensuring that every resource is directed toward those in need. All services are provided at no cost to our clients.

During 2025, Heartland Hands served 7,066 families – representing 21,257 individuals – by distributing grocery baskets filled with essential food items. We provide assistance to a broad range of individuals, including families, the working poor, senior citizens, disaster victims, individuals with disabilities, those experiencing homelessness, and the newly unemployed.

To ensure that resources are distributed effectively, we utilize an interview process that assesses each applicant’s needs. This process also enables us to connect clients with job agencies and other community organizations, supporting their efforts toward greater stability and self- sufficiency.

Individuals seeking assistance are encouraged to visit Heartland Hands with the required documentation. Our team is committed to providing respectful, supportive service to every client.
