Our Services
At Heartland Hope Mission, we realize that food insecurity is often a symptom of a larger problem. In addition to food, we provide employment resources, assistance with applying for SNAP and community referrals to help our clients rise above poverty and economic crisis.
Client-Choice Food Pantry: We provide a week’s supply of food, clothing, diapers, personal hygiene products and household items to individuals and families in need.
Job Paths: Businesses in high demand of employees come to our facility and provide employment information to clients looking for jobs. On-site interviews are conducted and help with the applications are available.
Holiday Assistance: We provide families with a choice of turkey or ham and all the fixings to enjoy holiday feasts. Parents are also able to receive brand new toys for their children, along with stocking stuffers, and wrapping paper.
Crisis Assistance: We are a crisis relief agency, where families facing a crisis situation can receive expanded services beyond normal pantry, regardless of income. We can help with basic necessities so families can utilize their funds to rebuild and recover.
If you need additional assistance or are in a crisis situation, you can meet with a Client Service Specialist who can connect you to additional resources.
