Our incredible founder and Air Force Veteran, Bob Weimer (1944-2024), made Georgetown, TX his home in 2001. As the former owner of Down the Alley Bistro (now Roots Bistro), Bob quickly became active with the Downtown Georgetown Association, serving as Board President for a period of time.

Giving back to the city he grew to love so much not only became his passion, but also a priority for Bob. He recognized the growing need to lend a helping hand to the working poor and underserved who were struggling to feed themselves and their families, while trying to keep up with the rapid increases in the costs of living.   

As a man of action and from the back of his Astro van, Bob went out into the community and started handing out brown bag lunches, clothes, hygiene kits and anything else he thought might help someone move forward. His passion and dedication towards making a difference in the community was magnetic so it didn’t take long for generous friends, volunteers, and community stakeholders to take notice and join his mission. By the end of 2016, Helping Hands of Georgetown, TX (HHGTX) was officially formed.

Today, Helping Hands of Georgetown has become rooted as a community staple for providing resources aimed at empowering those in need with the means to grow and succeed. We provide inclusive and barrier free support services regardless of age, gender, race, income or religion, and without restrictions on the frequency of food assistance received. We recognize the humility it takes for individuals in need to reach out for help and do our best to ensure those we serve are met with compassion and leave with a renewed sense of dignity.

As the only mobile pantry in Georgetown serving anyone with food insecurity from 0 to 99, HHG is deeply committed to the continuous growth and expansion of our impact throughout the City of Georgetown. Fueled by core values and compassion, we rely on collaboratively working with community stakeholders to help carry out our mission each day. Whatever the need, we hope to continue finding ways to fill it!
