Description:

Since our founding as a modest soup kitchen in 1998, Boca Helping Hands has become one of the largest nonprofit service providers in South Florida, now with 23 staff members and 300+ core volunteers assisting nearly 35,000 clients annually.

In 2023, BHH distributed 114,525 pantry bags from five Palm Beach County locations and served more than 100,000 hot meals. The organization expands access to affordable medical, dental and behavioral care through its partnership with Genesis Community Health (serving clients at clinics in Boca Raton and Boynton Beach) and Florida Atlantic University's Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing Community Based Clinics (serving clients in West Palm Beach).

In addition, BHH sends weekend meals home with food-insecure elementary school students via the BHH Backpacks Program and serves 13 schools across south Palm Beach County. The BHH Resource Center provides emergency financial assistance to Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and Boynton Beach residents in crisis to help with rent, overdue utilities, and the rising cost of childcare through the Children’s Assistance Program (CAP).

Boca Helping Hands has a volunteer portal which can be found on our website. All persons who are scheduled to volunteer must create a profile and complete an e-waiver online.

Unfortunately, our minimum age to volunteer is 12. Teams with individuals between 12 to 15 years old must be accompanied by adults with a ratio of three minors to one adult.

We invite students under 12 to do a food drive as a project. For more information on food drives and the items we can accept, you can visit our website at: https://www.bocahelpinghands.org/FoodDrives. If you have any questions about food drives, you can contact Suzan at suzan@bocahelpinghands.org.

Who we are

We are a team of change-makers who believe that every helping hand can raise a child and create a better future for them.

We started extending help to needy children and youth who were eager to study and work for a better life. This moment intensified when we found that there were many such underprivileged children who needed help with food, shelter and education. Our team expanded and we spread out in different regions to make sure we cover all possible areas and help as many children as possible.

We now run shelter homes, schools and a reasonable mess that helps such needy young people. We also have our helpline offices spread throughout the country so one can approach us anytime they need help.

Our approach

Our Mission

Our mission is to make sure all young people and children get all the support they need, when they need it, no matter what it is.

Whether it is a reassuring conversation, financial help, education, professional training, or simply the assurance that they are not alone, we will make sure that everyone gets support that meets them where they’re at as quickly as possible.

Our Vision

We want to build a world where no child or youth feels alone and gets every possible help they need as soon as possible.

Our entire team wants to see a world where every youngster struggling in any way feels able to reach out and has people who’ll help them with education, jobs, and more. We want to spread out in every region so we’ll be reachable to all.
