Hands in Service

 

Mission Statement:

To provide relief services and support for groups and individuals with financial and/or physical needs resulting from poverty, health challenges or disaster.

 

The goal of H.I.S. is to take teams of 15 to 20 volunteers to help existing or start up organizations, in depressed areas around the world, that need a short term commitment to build or repair.  H.I.S. goes to the needed area and works.  We are not interested in “taking ownership”.  H.I.S. works with the local people during the project and remains with the project until completed.  Once the project is completed, H.I.S. moves on to new horizons.

 

Work teams may consist of adults, families (parents/teen children) church groups or youth teams.
