OPEN HANDS FOOD PANTRY
Hunger is real in Oakland County. The Open Hands Food Pantry was started in a small closet to provide food for neighbors in need. Today it serves 14,000 annually with food and toiletries. Through the generosity of their volunteer staff, Open Hands distributes food twice a week to Oakland County residents.
Open Hands is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and has expanded to include the Open Hands garden to provide fresh produce to food pantry clients.
