Caring Hands Outreach Center is a community-based organization dedicated to serving the needs of our neighbors in eastern Polk County. We partner with local Christian churches and community groups to provide essential services, including a food pantry in Altoona. Our thrift store, also located in Altoona, helps support the food pantry through its sales.

We know that people have different seasons in life. Sometimes, you need someone to come alongside you and walk through a difficult season. Later, you are in a position to donate your time, talent, or treasure to those who need a helping hand. Wherever you are in your journey, explore the different opportunities available through Caring Hands for building relationships within our community.
