Today on Spotlight on Local Business, Drew sits down with Jenifer Zimmer, Executive Director and co-founder of Helping Hands and Caring Hearts, to talk about the incredible work the nonprofit is doing for families throughout Frederick County.

Jenifer shares how she and her husband, Brian Zimmer, founded Helping Hands and Caring Hearts in 2022 after recognizing a need for more direct assistance in the community — and how that mission has continued to grow.

The conversation highlights the organization's work providing free food, clothing, school supplies, personal care items and other essentials to those facing difficult times. From food pantries stocked with fresh and non-perishable items to professional clothing for job interviews and backpacks for local students, the goal is simple: help neighbors when they need it most.

Drew and Jenifer also discuss the power of community support and what it takes to operate an organization committed to making sure people throughout Frederick County have somewhere to turn when they need a helping hand.
