Helping Hand of Myrtle Beach relies heavily on the generosity and donations of individuals and our business and corporate partners. While the organization is known primarily for providing food to the hungry, it also provides thousands in direct rent and utility assistance. Each year we help individuals, families, seniors and veterans through some of the toughest times in their lives. These are the services where we need your help, specifically your financial support.
