Helping Hands Ministry

---

Our mission is to provide

emergency material assistance, referrals,
and / or supportive ministry
to persons in emergency need
in collaboration with
local agencies and faith communities
in Linn County.

We recognize that, to be healthy and whole,
all of the most basic individuals needs must be met,
including: physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual.

See these very short videos! We are grateful to ECCF board members for describing our programs and services. Please call or email for more in-depth descriptions.

Services

HHM serves people urgently needing limited material assistance. We help with rent, utilities, auto gas, ID replacement, and financial and life coaching, along with personal and household care items like laundry & dish soap, shampoo, and deodorant. Auto gas is now a much greater transportaion need but we still offer a few local bus tickets. Our staff and volunteers help individuals to prioritize needs and navigate community agencies, funding, and resources. Our staff offers someone to talk to; someone to share concerns with; someone to encourage reaching goals and then to rejoice in those accomplishments.

Eligibility

People with low incomes who live in Linn County and need help may apply at no charge. Our services are not restricted based on race, religion, gender, familial status, national origin, or disability. If you need assistance, please call us.
