Community Hand Up

Community Hand Up Our goal is to provide working families the assistance they need so that they do not become homeless.

Empowering the future financial security for people whose income is below middle class financial security by providing financial education, mentoring and emergency services. By providing those services for food to offset the cost of groceries, gas so they can get to work, car repairs so they can continue to function, uniforms so they can take that job they need. We are all about taking the financial burden of emergencies away from people.
