We believe in a hand up.

Community Helping Hands has been alive and well in the community for over 20 years already. We have evolved, but we have not abandoned our core belief that everyone deserves a hand up. This is the foundation of our ministry and service model at CHH. We believe in a hand up, not a hand out. We believe in empowerment.

We continue to marvel at the ways God uses our extended hands to transform people, and we’re expectant for the future…. because if there’s anything that the last two decades have taught us, it’s that a hand up is a doorway to lasting transformation.

Thank you for you continued partnership in our vision for community transformation.
