Our Programs

Helping Hands Society (now Northreach Society) offers several targeted programs designed to address the various aspects of food security: 

Community Food Hampers Grande Prairie

Our food hamper program supplies families and individuals with essential groceries, with a focus on fresh and frozen food items. This program is a cornerstone of our effort to provide ongoing support throughout the year.

Holiday Hampers

During the holiday season (Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter), our holiday hamper program brings joy and sustenance to many, ensuring that the festive period is a time of comfort and cheer for everyone, regardless of their circumstances.

Birthday Hampers

We believe every child deserves to celebrate their birthday with joy. Our Birthday Hampers include supplies for a birthday cake, some decorations, and a small gift to make their day special. Applications for Birthday Hampers can be found on the Helping Hands website. Apply here.

Tools for School

In partnership with United Way (LINK TO WEBSITE), our Tools for School program provides essential supplies to children and youth, ensuring they have what they need for success at the start of a new school year. From backpacks to stationery, we equip students with the necessary tools to begin their academic year with confidence. The application for this program has not been distributed yet.
