Rehoboth Helping Hands

Helping Hands is a non-profit organization that provides year-round assistance to Rehoboth residents in need of food or fuel assistance.   Steve Martin, the program coordinator donates his time, energy and resources to this community effort. Along with working from his home for administrative tasks, he maintains the Food Pantry on Route 44, manages distribution on Thursday afternoons and drives around picking up donations and shopping for bargains. Rehoboth Community Garden was established in 2008 behind the Senior Center on Bay State Road.  Volunteers are responsible for planting, tending and harvesting.  Produce is donated to the Food Pantry.  This summer a second large garden plot was added behind the original garden. 

Community Support is vital to the success of Helping Hands.  The Rehoboth Business Association promotes the efforts of Helping Hands and arranged for conveniently located donation drop-off points.  Many other Rehoboth groups and organizations help throughout the year including including schools, scout troops, clubs and businesses.  

HOW TO DONATE:

Drop off goods (both food and non-food items) at the Senior Center on Bay State Road, Monday through Friday, 9 to 3 PM or on the 2nd Saturday of each month from 9 AM to 12 Noon at American Form Corporation, 513 Winthrop Street (Route 44).

Call Steve Martin at 252-3263 to make arrangements to collect items other than scheduled drop off times.
