What is Helping Hands?

Helping Hands is a program of Catholic Relief Services. The purpose of the program is twofold: (1) to provide short term relief to the hungry in the West African country of Burkina Faso and (2) to raise money to support longer term poverty alleviation programs in that area.

If you are interested in helping to organize Helping Hands 2020, please contact Levi at cyacc1@gmail.com or

(470) 222-4192.

To participate in the next meal packing event, check back in January 2020 for more information on registering. The event is typically held during Lent.

DONATE

We pay $0.50 for every meal that we pack. Some of this money goes to purchase the raw ingredients. Some goes to ship the food to Burkina Faso. The rest goes to support long term poverty alleviation programs. If you are interested in supporting this program, please contact Levi at cyacc1@gmail.com or (470) 222-4192.
