For the past two years the Hilton Garden Inn-Pearland have held a local food drive to benefit Christian Helping Hands of Pearland, a local food pantry. Each year the team members asked guest and local vendors to contribute to this worthwhile project. All of the efforts also coincided with Hilton’s Global Month of Service.
Christian Helping Hands is operated by an all volunteer staff. The member-churches have grown from nine to twenty-two churches (Baptist, Anglican, Catholic, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Episcopal, Methodist, Assembly of God and Non-denominational) all working together. Numerous “non-member” churches also participate in the assistance programs of C.H.H. Christian Helping Hands has assisted the needy residing in Pearland, Friendswood, Brookside and Manvel (Texas) with food, rent and utility assistance, clothing vouchers, gasoline and medical vouchers and emergency lodging. C.H.H. has also provided school supplies and Christmas gifts, as well as assistance to those affected by flooding in the area. In the first nineteen years, Christian Helping Hands provided assorted services to 41,000 families representing 143,000 people.
