God has definately blessed Lawrenceburg with the Pantry. It strives to meet the needs of the comunity with food, medical and dental services. The staff truly care about the people they serve. I know they work hard at what they do! The needs of the community continue to climb so the need for Open Hands continues to rise also. And they continue to look for ways to help this area. I wish I could give more of my time to volunteer there than I do.

During my work with the Pantry, I can see how hard they work to make a little go a long way. Their goal is to make sure that the goods they receive get in the right hands and they do a great job meeting that goal. They leave an impressive mark on the community.

This ministry is a key part of our community by helping the less fortunate with food, medical and dental needs. The food pantry has been blessed with outstanding community support as the numbers of those we serve continues to grow.

david, kim, debbie, and katie were extremly helpful thoughtful and considerate when assisting folks from the community here in anderson county. their sincerity and geniune affection for the community in which they have chosen to serve is evident in the conversations shared with individuals, who are diverse in their walk of life yet similar in their need for a hand up. keep up the excellent work.

The Anderson County Senior Center works closely with our Open Hands Food Pantry. Their volunteers are friendly, open to special requests, and work closely with clients to handle their needs. Our community is blessed to have this special resource. Times are tough. Many seniors have never had to use a food pantry, and they are always so pleased that their needs can be met so quickly.

i have worked with the open hands food pantry since it openned. The need for it grows stronger each week. Our number of clients grows each week. Sometimes it is hard to have enough food to help those in need. Open Hands food bank is also working with the new free medical clinic and dental clinic. This organization is supported by our community. The director and volunteer staff work long days to help those in need.

My church donates to the pantry and that is how I came to know about it. There are so many needy people in our community, a large number of them Senior Citizens that are having a difficult time trying to survive on Social Security. There are not a lot of resources in our small, fairly rural community and for many, Open Hands Food Pantry is the differnce between eating and not eating at all. Several churches in the area provide a free meal on one or two days a week which is a huge help,but the Pantry still has a hard time keeping their shelves stocked. The last time I went with a Sunday School class to help serve I was surprised by the number of people served meals that one night and by how scantily stocked their shelves were! I was overwjelmed by the need in my community!

I am very greatful for the Pantry. It has helped us in a very big way and we don't know what we would have done if it wasn't for the help they have given us. They have helped so many people in this community. The volunteers at the Pantry are very caring, loving, resceptful and friendly people. I just hope one day I will be able to return the help that they have given us in the time of need. My prayer goes out to all the volunteers that help at the Pantry for their time and the work they put in to help the ones in need. Thanks to all of you. GOD BLESS and he be with you when you are in need.

The people I work with are caring, loving and Godly. This is one of the most all around considerate atmospheres. Not only by helping people but makes it a joy and an atmosphere that you can easily pray for the people also. It's clean, we are redecorating and expanding due to more people in need of help. With the help of several churches as volenteers, Kentucky Changers was just here in June they help expand our soup kitchen area and make closet areas and other help while they were here.
