About Us
Boca Helping Hands (BHH) is a community-based 501(c)(3) organization that was formed in 1998 by a group of local religious congregations. BHH first opened as a Food Center in November 1998, serving nutritious hot lunches 3 days a week and giving out bags of groceries to families. An after-school sandwich program started in March 1999.The Food Program has expanded to five days a week and includes delivering home cooked meals to homebound disabled and elderly individuals. The organization opened an Assistance Center four years later in April 2002 with a focus on providing financial help for people in crisis situations (e.g., eviction, utility cancellation, prescription medication).
Now in our 11th year of serving the community, we have seen the largest increase in demand for services. In response to this increased demand, in April 2009 we opened an eleven-hundred square-foot Job Mentoring Center that provides coaching and guidance designed to help individuals reenter the community as positive and productive members of society. These services complement our food and assistance programs in our continuing effort to provide compassionate service designed to instill dignity and break the cycle of dependence.
In January 2010 we moved our Assistance Center and Job Mentoring Programs into the new Remillard Family Resource Center, and our Food Center in February 2010.
Our support now comes from Congregations in Boca Raton, the City of Boca Raton, the community of Boca Raton, and surrounding areas and various corporations and schools, along with over 250 dedicated volunteers.
