A wonderful new resource has opened on US 19 for those in need in Pasco County. Joining Hands Community Mission, Inc. is now open and operating at the site formerly known as Community United Methodist Church, 3214 U.S. Highway 19 in Holiday.
Joining Hands is a faith-based social service agency supported by Metropolitan Ministries and Gulf Central District UMC. Its resource center offers evaluation and emergency assistance to people in financial distress. Emergency food provisions and clothing are available, as is assistance in locating shelter, if necessary.

Low Cost Food in Your Neighborhood
Looking for ways to decrease your grocery bill? Check out Angel Food Ministries, a non-profit, non-denominational organization dedicated to providing food relief and contributing to benevolent outreaches in communities throughout the United States.
Each month, a menu is released with the contents of the basic box. Each box, or "unit", is enough to feed a family of four for one week, or a single senior citizen for almost a month. A basic unit costs $30 and contains $40-$70 worth of name-brand grocery items. Specialty boxes, including steaks and fresh produce, are also available for an additional cost.
Angel Food Ministries does accept Food Stamps, but there are no qualifications, minimums, income restrictions, or applications to participate. Just contact your local host site for more information and to order.
