As long as there are hungry people in our community, our doors and hearts will be open to help.

Open Hands Food Pantry provides emergency food and toiletries to residents of Oakland County. Completely staffed by a dedicated group of volunteers, the pantry is open on Monday afternoons and Saturday mornings. In 2010 we served nearly 10,500 clients.

Open Hands Food Pantry is located in the basement of St. John's Episcopal Church at the corner of Woodward and 11 Mile Roads.  Enter the parking lot from 11 Mile Road.  Come in the glass double doors and straight down the stairs.

Mondays 1:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Saturdays 9:30 am - 12:30 pm

ADDITIONAL FOOD ASSISTANCE

PLEASE NOTE:

We are in desperate need of two items -- peanut butter and tuna fish -- which are becoming too expensive for us to buy from Gleaners. Please consider this when making food contributions or for a food drive you may be planning. Thank you!

GROCERY BAGS NEEDED
 
We are in need of clean, gently used plastic and paper grocery bags.  We go through hundreds each week.  We also welcome donations of reusable cloth grocery bags. For more items on our wish list or if you would like to donate cash, please go to the
Wish List and Donations page.
