Mama J's Helping Hand

Mama J's Helping Hand is a local community outreach program located in Sneads Ferry, North Carolina. We specialize in feeding and clothing families in need as well as offering important community resources. Mama J's Helping Hands offers a food pantry to those in need of groceries and personal products. Items for the pantry are purchased from the Eastern NC Food Pantry and are donated by local grocery stores and individuals. Applications are available for those who would like to receive groceries at no charge. The items regularly available are boxed foods, fresh produce, eggs, meat, cereal and personal hygiene products. Groceries are distributed in four-week intervals. The soup kitchen at Mama J's is a place where food is offered to the clients for free on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays 10 am-1pm. Mama J, as well as wonderful volunteers provide hot meals for anyone who visits. This is a ministry that is essential to homeless individuals and families that seek a home cooked meal because they lack the facilities to cook their meals.
