“According to US Census Bureau, the child poverty rate in America is 16% nationwide as of 2020. This amounts to 11.6 million children living in poverty in the United States.”

Thank you for helping us to alleviate child poverty in our area.

Childhood poverty is a tragic problem affecting millions of children in America. Learn more to help fight child poverty in your local community and the nation.

Hello! Hands of Hope needs YOUR help!
At this time, 49 La Grange ISD children are receiving bags of food every Friday from Hands of Hope. The food bags are given directly to the children while at school so that they know they have food to eat over the weekend. Each bag costs approximately $4.50. All donated funds are used to purchase food. With your help, we can continue to feed these children! Refer to the image below for ways to donate. Please consider donating and sharing this info with more people and businesses in our community. Thank you!

We are in need of more canned vegetables (corn, green beans, or peas) for the final three weeks of school. You can drop them off at La Grange Church of Christ. Thank you to everyone who has already donated.

Thank you to the person who ordered a case of peas from Walmart and had them delivered. We’ve had several donations of vegetables. We were able to provide vegetables in all of our bags last week. We’re getting close to being able to do it again this week. Thank you to everyone who is helping us feed kids in La Grange.

Kids need their vegetables! Recently, we have had difficulty purchasing vegetables from Sam's for our Hands of Hope bags. We're handing out 93 bags each week. If you could pick up a couple of extra cans of vegetables the next time you are at the grocery store and drop them off at La Grange Church of Christ, then you could help us make sure our Hands of Hope kids get their vegetables. We are in need of cans of corn, green beans, or sweet peas. Thanks for helping us feed kids in La Grange!
