People Helping People

During 2019, PHP filled backpacks that fed over 650 hungry children each week. These children were selected by Hernando schools as food insecure to receive a backpack of food every weekend.  A donation of $150 would feed a child for the entire school year, but any amount would help. 

Since 2009, PHP has provided a hot meal each week to food insecure families and individuals.  Each Sunday afternoon, a group of volunteers serve a hot meal to anyone who comes to the HELP Center.  Most meals are provided by restaurants, clubs and organizations. 

Supplemental groceries are needed by many seniors in Hernando County because their Social Security and retirement checks just too small.  Many have to choose between eating and paying the rent. PHP supplies groceries to over 250 seniors each month in Hernando County.

If you found yourself homeless, because you lost your job or due to an illness,  you'd probably have little idea of what to do.  Yes, there are some chronic homeless, but many right now are out of work because of Covid-19.  Your donation will provide groceries, toiletries and camping supplies. 

Thank you for helping hungry people in Hernando County.
