2025 Fundraiser Dinner Photos!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out, served, donated, sponsored, and joined us for our 7th Annual Fundraiser Dinner! Because of your generosity and support, it was an incredible success — and we’re well on our way to getting our new box truck!

It was an exceptionally warm evening filled with amazing food, sublime music, and hilarious entertainment. We are especially grateful to our dedicated volunteers who carved time out of their busy schedules to serve, as well as to those who purchased tickets, bid on pies or baskets, bought plants, or contributed through sponsorships and donations.

Your kindness and commitment make our mission at Helping Hands possible. We truly could not do it without each and every one of you!

A SPECIAL HUGE THANK YOU to Dreamsilver Studios for her AMAZING photography skills! Folks, if you are in need of a photographer, Karen Fox can not be beat!

Helping Hands Highlights

All of our wonderful participants! Left to right: Mike Messena, Pete Tibbs, David McMeen, Rev. Jim Melrose, Al Baltz

Our first highlight of many more is the 1st Annual Helping Hands Chili Cook-off! We hosted this event on February 22nd at Bon Aqua UMC, and it featured 6 delicious chilies that tasters could taste and vote on their favorite!

The amazing chilis were lovingly made by:

East Hickman Fire Department(Chef Mike Messena)

Pleasantville Fire Department(Chef Pete Tibbs)

Hickman County Rescue Squad(Chefs David and Amy McMeen)

Hickman County Chaplin(Chef Reverend Jim Melrose)

Centerville Fire Department(Chef Al Baltz)

Emergency Management Agency(Chef Sarah Stewart)

Rev Melrose’s “Chaps Delight” Chili took the First place trophy after much deliberation, and East Hickman Fire Department Mike Messena’s “ Cardiac Arrest” chili went on to win second place.

Heritage Bank sponsored the event that went on to raise over $1000 (Thank you Hertiage!) This money will kick start the fund for a much needed new box truck that will be used in tandem to help provide services such as food assistance, electric and water bill assistance, and much more.

There were no fires during the making or serving of the wonderful chilis! LOL

We deeply appreciate the contributions of each participant making and sharing their secret recipes and for sharing their time for our community. Hickman County is forever indebted to each one and their teams for their service and protection for each one of us. Thank you to all of our emergency responders and we hope to see all of you next year!
