Huffman
House, Inc. provides grass-roots social services to people of all
faiths in Gwinnett County, Georgia.
Our
initial area of service is to provide supplemental,non-perishable
food to families and individuals in food-insecure homes, delivered
to their door from our mobile food van. Our distribution method does
not require clients to access governmental programs, leave dependent
family members at home unsupervised in order to get to static food
distribution centers, or overcome transportation challenges. Thus,
we believe we are filling an unmet need in our community.
We
are an IRS 501(c)(3) non-profit Georgia corporation. Our support comes
from personal investment, personal and business donations, and assistance
from volunteers. We welcome anyone who would like to get involved
in the Huffman House family.

mail.

Testimonials
We
often receive notes of thanks from the clients we serve. Here are
some of them.
"I didn't
have any food and my check doesn't come until next week. I didn't
know how I was going to feed the kids."
"Dear Huffman
House, what a welcome and joyous surprise to receive the bag of
groceries! I believe you delivered them to us last Friday. Food
is always welcome and enjoyed--not much is wasted around here. You
are so kind and thoughtful and I know you worked hard to do this.
Thank you. Two Friends."
"You came
at just the right time. We haven't had anything to eat for three
days."
"What a
wonderful thing to do; we all truly appreciate your help. Thank
you and God bless you all. Thank you. Joanne"
"Please
help my friend like you helped me. My friend can't get a job and
they don't have any food."
"To all
who volunteer for Huffman House, Inc.: thank you so much for the
food I received on Friday. I was so happy to receive your gift.
God bless all of you for thinking of me and so many others. I am
very happy. Thank you. Sincerely, R.W."
"Huffman
House has helped my family so much. You are helping us throught
until I get out of school and can better support my family."
"When I
was laid off from my job six months ago, I thought I'd get another
one quickly because I have good skills. But I can't get a job or
pay my bills now. Thank you for caring about me and my family!"
