How We Help
Individualized Care for Our Neighbors
The needs of children and families are highly individualized. Resources must be specifically targeted to meet their current and evolving needs.
Hand in Hand specializes in providing immediate, specific and personalized assistance to families.
School social workers identify children that are in dire need of fundamental essentials. The social worker then communicates the exact needs of the child (i.e. clothing sizes, food requests, housing supply needs) to the Hand in Hand volunteer.
Our volunteers shop specifically for the child or family. We provide ongoing support, helping to build back up a family with the goal of keeping the children in school and the family feeling secure.
Because our support is personalized for each family, we keep a general list of common donation requests and use donated funds to shop for each family’s personal needs. We are always looking for donations and for volunteers eager to make a real connection and work with neighboring families to meet their needs. Click below for more information:
