What We're About
The Session of First Presbyterian Church, Tulsa, organized the Helping Hand Ministry in 1983 at the urging of Dr. William Wiseman (Pastor, 1963-1984). This new ministry was designed to continue FPC’s tradition of reaching out to those who need a Helping Hand.
For almost 30 years this ministry has helped disadvantaged individuals and families over a temporary crisis by assisting in the payment of their utility bills, rent or prescriptions, and with the distribution of food from the pantry.
In 2010 alone the Helping Hand Ministry spent over $335,000 to: keep 554 families from being evicted; provide prescriptions for 43 people; help 2,535 families keep from losing their utility services (including water, electrical service, natural gas and propane); and provide over 548 families with food for approximately 34,524 meals. This year, because of the continuing economic downturn and high unemployment, more and more families need help.
As an outreach to the Tulsa community, First Presbyterian Church provides the overhead costs for Helping Hand Ministry: space in the Bernsen Community Life Center, utilities (electricity, water, and heating) & bookkeeping assistance.
Helping Hand has no paid staff — every dollar donated is disbursed in aid of the ministry’s clients.
