(PHP) is the oldest and largest food bank in Hood County, Texas.
People Helping People was established in 1983 by the Lake Granbury Ministerial Alliance as a focal point where local churches could direct people in need to obtain food and clothing. Its Board of Directors is composed of representatives from various area churches.
PHP has served Hood County since 1983 with NO PAID EMPLOYEES. Since there is no payroll, PHP is able to dedicate 100% of all donations to people in need within the Hood County Community.
PHP purchases approximately 6,000 pounds of food a week from the Tarrant Area Food Bank (TAFB) for distribution to about 150-200 families on a weekly basis.
There are also two Resale Areas where some of the donated clothes, furniture and household items are made available to the public. The proceeds from these Resale Areas help pay for food required for distribution.
People Helping People’s mission since its inception has always been to help anyone who has fallen on difficult times.
