Helping Hands Ending Hunger CEO Carla Harward visited Gordon County Schools today to meet with school and district leaders and provide training on this innovative program for our school district.
Helping Hands Ending Hunger is a 501c3 nonprofit corporation established in 2016 with an inspired vision: to alleviate childhood food insecurity, reduce school food waste, encourage better educational outcomes, and shape a healthier world. HHEH's innovative, “Kids Helping Kids” program empowers student leaders to repurpose uneaten food from school meals and join hands with their communities to nurture food insecure families.
We look forward to collaborating with Carla Harward, Helping Hands Ending Hunger, and our local community partners to provide Gordon County families and students with nutritious food outside of the regular school day. In addition to providing breakfast and lunch at no cost to families in 2024-2025, 8 of our Gordon County Schools are helping those in need of meal choices at home through the Helping Hands Initiative.
Gordon County Schools is covering what costs it can, but we cannot do this alone. We are asking our community at large to come together and help change lives with nutritious meal opportunities for families in need of assistance. To donate directly to this new initiative, please visit
