A Helping Hand

A Helping Hand is a community-based organization in Chattanooga, TN that aims to address hunger and build a sense of community amongst neighbors. They provide 24-hour access to unlocked pantries strategically located in various neighborhoods, offering basic food items to those in need, regardless of their housing status. The pantries are maintained by sponsors, residents, and local neighbors, fostering empathy and empowerment within the community.

Founded by Iunike and Rhonda Stevens, A Helping Hand was inspired by Iunike's late mother's community work and their own experience fostering children. Their mission is to honor their mother's legacy by installing outdoor cabinets filled with non-perishable food items in public spaces across the 37404 neighborhoods. The food is freely available to anyone facing food insecurity, aiming to meet a real need and connect neighbors in a meaningful way.
