OUR FOCUS
Love Your Neighbor As Yourself
After the order to love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength, none is more important than the instruction to love your neighbor as yourself.
At Helping Hands, we take this commandment to heart. It is our desire to show the love of God to all those we come in contact with whether they are donors, customers, or clients.
We would be honored to have you join us in our efforts to spread hope and love and serve our community.
