What People Are Saying
- Helping Hands is a blessing from God to help those people that are less fortunate. I have been going there for 11 years now and I have met the most loveable people there. Thank you HHSM for all that you do.
- What's good about helping hands is they help a lot of people with clothing and coffee and chit chat. They have different groups throughout the week and I think for myself it's helpful to come down here.
- Helping hands serves Hamilton’s community. Most important the need for belonging is met. Individuals may share coffee, tea, pastries and other light treats while conversing and sharing thoughts. Helping hands has outreach workers who assist individuals coordinate life plans and a nurse to address medical needs. A clothing store is also available free of charge for clothing needs. All are welcome at helping hands.
Specific Needs
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
