Who We Are
The Helping Hands Ministry of Trinity Lutheran Church is "A Place to Help When Times Are Tough". To receive help call the Central Intake--One Door at 540-853-1163 located at 339 Salem Avenue SW, Roanoke VA 24016. If Helping Hands receives a referral sheet from Central Intake, we will call you for screening. The phone line is open 24/7. Messages may be left and a volunteer will return your call.
This volunteer-run service assists in obtaining emergency financial assistance and referral services to individuals and families in financial distress. All applicant information is kept confidential.
Assistance is limited to threat of eviction (must have notice); threat of loss of essential utility (must have cut-off notice); housing deposit; food; automobile gas; and medications.
Williamson Road Ministerial Association, a collection of neighborhood churches (Bethany Christian Church, Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, Huntington Court United Methodist Church, St. James Episcopal Church, Oakland Baptist Church, Trinity Lutheran Church, and the Williamson Road Church of the Brethren) also has an outreach program run through the Helping Hands office.
