Agency Spotlight: Boca Helping Hands Many people may think that Boca Helping Hands only serves hot, nutritious meals every week to people in need.  However,this nonprofit organization that has been serving the Boca Raton community since 1998 does much more.  Boca Helping Hands was formed by a group of concerned citizens to address the growing needs of hunger and other problems in the community.  Today, their Food Center serves over 1,200 meals each week. Lunch is served Monday through Saturday and a “Family Night” dinner is offered every Thursday evening. 
True Community Holiday Spirit For the past three years, the Spirit of Giving Network has partnered with the Junior League of Boca Raton to provide over 3,000 local at-risk children with a specific holiday wish.  We are again joining together with the Junior League to make sure the wishes come true for the 2011 holiday season. Children served by our nonprofit members made a specific gift wish on a personalized ornament.  The ornaments are being distributed throughout the community at local businesses, organizations, clubs, and churches.
