Helping Hand of Myrtle Beach
A mission of First United Methodist Church
Started in 1971 by several local churches, Helping Hand of Myrtle Beach has been faithfully serving the Myrtle Beach community for over 50 years. Our organizational goal is to assist individuals and families with immediate, short-term needs such as food, rent, utilities, and other specialized services, which if not met, would threaten an individual’s or family’s stability.
Services include:
Emergency Food
We provide five days of emergency food, along with hygiene items if requested, to individuals and families experiencing short-term needs.
Utilities
Our agency assists with utilities. These services are limited. To discuss utilities, the client must have a copy of the utility bill.
Rent
Our agency assists with rent. These services are limited. To discuss rent, the client must have an annual lease and a letter from the landlord showing the client owes rent.
Transportation
Our agency helps clients in crisis with their transportation needs. These services are limited.
Prescriptions
Our agency helps clients with prescription co-pays.
ID
