Message from CEO
Dear Partners,
​
As we step into 2025, Global Helping Hands Charity Foundation having partnered with various religious entities, is venturing in a direction where full responsibility of food distribution will be that of GHHCF and her dedicated staff. My highest gratitude to our Almighty God for His guidance and grace throughout our years of collaboration with the BCS family. Despite the challenges we faced, His grace has sustained us, and for that, I am truly thankful.
​
At GHHCF, Inc., I am both humbled and blessed to reflect on the meaningful work we have accomplished within the Atlanta community and its surrounding areas. Over the past few years we have been able to serve and support those in need.
Thanks to the dedication of our incredible volunteers and the generosity of our material/financial contributors.
​
In addition, many of you also made financial sacrifices to help GHHCF provide food, clothing, and household items to the community. Your generosity and commitment have been vital to our mission. The year 2024 marked our fourth year of service in Atlanta and the surrounding areas.
We continue to thrive because of the generosity of our financial supporters and volunteers who have gone above and beyond bracing difficult conditions—whether rain, or shine to accomplish this mission.
​
In the spirit of gratitude, we would like to acknowledge the following individuals and organizations for their financial support in 2024:
His Holiness Olumba Olumba Obu - Grand Patron
Barlay and Company, LLC
Blessed Limo and Car Services, LLC
Anonymous - Donor
Through your collective efforts, we were able to distribute 97,204 pounds of food and household items to 2,864 households. This means that, on average, 1,800 pounds of goods were served or distributed each week throughout 2024. In addition to food, we also distributed 4 ½ tons of clothing and household items.
​
Again, thank you for being an essential part of this journey. Together, we have made a significant impact, and I am excited for what we will continue to achieve in the year ahead.

Best regards,
B. Frank Barlay

Letter of Acknowledgment and Appreciation
From: Southside Concern Citizens of Atlanta Community Association
To: The Food Pantry
Date: April 10, 2023
Dear Food Pantry,
On behalf of the entire community, I would like to express our deepest gratitude for the immense support you have given us over the past year. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused untold suffering and hardship for many families in the area. However, thanks to your tireless efforts, many of our most vulnerable citizens have been able to weather the storm more comfortably.
Your constant provision of clothing, food, household materials, and even wheelchairs for the elderly has truly made a difference in the lives of those most in need. As the president of this community, I have seen first-hand how the generosity of the food has been a lifeline to many who were struggling to make ends meet. Your efforts have enabled families to clothe their children and maintain a sense of dignity in the face of immense challenges. Meanwhile, the older members of our community have been able to maintain their independence thanks to your provision of much-needed mobility aids. Your support has been truly life-changing for many of our residents, especially those who are homeless.
We are extremely thankful to all the volunteers of the Food Pantry for your hard work, your unwavering dedication, and your deep commitment to supporting those in need. Your generosity is an inspiration to us all, and we are honored to consider you a trusted partner and friend. We look forward to continuing to work with you in the months and years ahead, and we know that with your unfaltering support, we will be better equipped to handle whatever challenges may arise.
Thank you again for everything you do.
Sincerely,
Joyce Smith
