   Quarterly Report

  Helping Hands of Putnam County endeavors to provide members of our Putnam County community with the most urgent necessities: food, heat, rent, medications, eyeglasses and other emergency needs. Applications are taken from each client requesting help to determine need, and application information is entered into a computerized database for our records.

Our clients are referred to us by such community organizations as UCHRA, the Department of Human Services, and local churches. Over the years need has increased, and the number of families that Helping Hands has assisted has increased as well.
