How we started
We started with a dream and a calling in 2013. However, it was February of 2016 before we began working on the space, and January 30, 2017 before we opened to the public.
Who we are
A dream, a calling, and a lot of volunteers
Hope Helps TN is a volunteer-run food pantry serving Hawkins County, Tennessee.
Our mission
Why we do this
To help people spiritually through their physical needs so that our community is greatly impacted for the glory of God.
That sentence is the whole of it. A box of groceries is rarely only a box of groceries — it is a chance to sit with someone, hear what is going on, and let them know they are not carrying it alone.
Volunteer staff
Everyone who works at HHTN is a volunteer. They put many hours and lots of love into helping our community grow and thrive.
