A Bit About Us

The Bonne Terre Ministerial Alliance operates a thrift store called, Helping Hands. It is operated by local volunteers and allows us to provide financial resources to our community.  We provide help in these areas: utilities, prescriptions, food, clothing, and hygiene vouchers, We currently do NOT offer assistance in the areas of housing and transportation. In addition to our areas of assistance we also help other nonprofit agencies throughout the year and provide several hundred food baskets at Christmastime. In 2021, we assisted over 120 community members and provided over $16,000 in financial assistance. Residents have to reside in the 63628 zip code in order to qualify.
