VOLUNTEERing with LOVING HANDS OUTREACH team
Loving Hands Outreach is a registered charity run by volunteers, helping households in North Kirklees with food support since the start of covid. They mainly support families on low incomes, but also those struggling with the cost of living crisis, plus those isolated through illness and the elderly.
Loving Hands Outreach deliver food parcels free of charge and provide some support with small household items. They also run a cookery school for those who want to learn how to cook cheap, healthy food on a budget.
A team of 27 Volunteers give their time on a weekly basis to help with packing food parcels, delivering food parcels and helping with childcare at cookery, crafts and gardening classes.
Volunteer Chris said:
“Being a volunteer with the Loving Hands Outreach Team, where we deliver food parcels to those in need, is a profound experience. It’s about more than just providing sustenance; it’s about fostering hope and dignity. And being part of such a great team of people amplifies the impact. Together, we create ripples of positivity, reminding us that the smallest acts of kindness can make the biggest difference in someone’s life.”
