Alpine Dental of Rockwall Hosts Food Drive for Helping Hands of Rockwall in Honor of Poverty Awareness Month

Rockwall, TX, February 13, 2024 --(PR.com)-- During January, Dr. Anish Reddy and the team at Alpine Dental of Rockwall have decided to take a stand against hunger in the Rockwall community in honor of Poverty Awareness Month. Collaborating with Helping Hands of Rockwall Food Pantry, Dr. Reddy and his team are hosting a food drive at their practice next to the Tom Thumb in Rockwall to address the issue of food insecurity in Rockwall's local neighborhoods.

They are encouraging patients to help their community and bring five non-perishable food items during business hours and receive a free whitening take-home kit.

About Helping Hands of Rockwall Food Pantry
Established in 1976, Helping Hands of Rockwall Food Pantry has provided hope for the local community for over four decades. Founded by Bob Reeves, a pastor at First Presbyterian Church in Rockwall, Helping Hands’s goal was to initially address the immediate needs of those in need with providing food, resources, and supplies.

Over the years, their financial aid and support expanded into creating a Helping Hands Thrift Store in 1980 and the Health Center of Helping Hands in 2000. Every purchase made at the Helping Hands Thrift Store goes to help a neighbor in need. The Health Centers of Helping Hands offers medical services at a significantly reduced cost as well as offering an income based sliding scale program. Additionally, they host a Christmas Toy drive each year that gives over 1,000 children four toys each as well as stocking stuffers.

Their vision statement states, “We strive to ensure that no one in Rockwall County goes to bed hungry, without a roof overhead, or is deprived of needed medical care.”

Dr. Anish Reddy and his staff Carla and Kristen volunteered last week at Helping Hands of Rockwall packing, donating, and organizing toys and canned food items for the local community.
