BHH Issues “Protein Challenge” Expresses Thanks to Community Story on Page 9 Boca Helping Hands (BHH) clients could be taking home more meat for their families soon, thanks to a challenge grant from local charity Hands on Tzedakah (“HOT”). With HOT’s support, BHH has issued a $10,000 community “Protein Challenge” to help provide protein/meat to the families that it serves. BHH also wants to thank the community for donating food and funds to help meet the increased need for services during the COVID-19 crisis. Hands on Tzedakah will match the first $250 of any donation received by Boca Helping Hands from now through June 12 up to a total of $10,000, with funding going to purchase meat for clients’ pantry bags in June. HOT made an earlier contribution in April that allowed BHH to buy 5,750 pounds of wholesale nonperishable food, needed when food donations from local grocery store partners were down 75 percent.
