HINTON, WV (WVNS) – Ministry Place in Summers County hosted their Helping Hands Giveaway event on Sunday, May 23, 2021. The event takes place four times a year and provides families with essentials like clothing.

Robbie Roads is the pastor of Ministry Place. Roads said it was a perfect way to give back to the community.

“We just want to welcome them and let them know that God loves them and meets needs. And part of our ministry and our vision here is to bless those in need in their lives, ”Roads said.

Roads said anyone can come and receive the free items, as their donations cover different age groups. They also provided a free McDonalds meal to those who came to the event.

“We have shoes and we have clothes, men’s, women’s, kids clothes and we have a diverse table with all the good stuff that people can use like kids stuff,” Roads continued.

Roads said this event would not be possible without the amount of donations made by community members to the church.

“Well, everything is given to us and we donated it over a period of time. We do this quarterly of the year, so this is our spring event, ”Roads said.
