Review for HELPING HANDS ESSENTIALS PANTRY, Quincy, MA, USA
At a time when many families are experiencing challenging financial pressures, we open our doors to our neighbors in need. We can't provide all the personal care items for everyone, but by sharing 7-8 items such as toothpaste, diapers, shampoo, toilet paper, and razors, we partially defray their expenses for the month. Our guests are primarily the working poor, and the disabled and elderly who rely on Social Security as their sole source of income. We see some every month; other we see only when they're in a pinch. All are grateful for the non-judgmental and friendly help we provide to them.
