We are very pleased and excited to announce that we have found a new home! HHPC moved to 421 East Broad Street on May 3rd. This is an exciting time for this organization. When I came to HHPC three years ago, the dream then was for us to move to a larger facility but the time was never right. Now that dream is coming true.

When asked why we moved, it's very simple. There has been a great need for more intake space for clients. We had freezers and refrigerators in four different rooms. Food was stacked in the hallways. In 2007, HHPC averaged serving 230 families a month and this year we have averaged over 400 families a month! To serve clients well, our previous location was not adequate.

While we are excited about the move and know it is what needed to be done, we also have to remember what a great service the Putnam County Veterans have done for HHPC. We can never thank them enough for letting us rent from them for all these years and how they have helped to keep our overhead low. Thanks especially to Mr. Miller and Mr. Howell.

We will be having an open house Wednesday, June 30th at 1 pm so you will be able to see our new home. This dream could not have come true without the support of this community. Thank you.

Debbie Handlson, Director April 2010
