Nonprofit Food Bank Business Plan


Helping Hand, an untaxed food bank for the whole of Johnson County (Washington), is tax exempt. Helping Hand’s mission is to end hunger in Johnson County. We solicit, collect, grow, and package food for distribution through a network service agencies and programs that target our target population. Our services include food box programs, emergency food programs, and a youth farm that provides opportunities for self-sufficiency activities for “at risk” youth. Helping Hand receives support through the county as well corporate sponsorship.

Around 20% Johnson County residents are eligible to receive Helping Hand. Our client base is low-income people, mainly families, who need emergency help to put food on the table. Nearly half of the clients served by the program were children. Helping Hand has a warehouse where we store donated and rescued food. The program actively solicits food for distribution from local food growers as well as wholesalers, retailers, and processors. Helping Hand also collects food donations for distribution to service programs.

According to estimates, Helping Hand’s services will be more needed by children over the next five decades. Johnson County is expanding and many new families are moving into the county to find work. Many programs are available to assist these new families. Because we are able to respond quickly with one of the most essential resources these families require, Helping Hand is a valuable resource.
