OUR VISION
To serve as a one-stop shop, connecting citizens with the social, economic, health, and other resources needed to overcome life’s hardships, to improve quality of life, and strengthen the very core of our community.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to improve the quality of life for the elderly citizens of Jasper and Hampton Counties by providing health, nutrition, and home safety services.
ABOUT US
HELPING HAND CENTER, INC. (HHC) was first envisioned in 2009 by founding and current Executive Director, Nancy E. Morgan. The organization began largely in response to families experiencing hardship as a result of long-term fixed/low income, which was further compounded by the country’s 2007 economic decline. HHC initially served as a conduit for linking families to financial, medical, and other resources they needed. A support group was formed and served as a social networking opportunity for women. This group soon developed a deep passion for helping children, families, and the elderly to overcome life challenges and improving their overall quality of life by providing health, financial, and socially supportive services. While continuing to provide support to children and families, HHC has found its niche and currently serves the elderly (Age 70 and above) citizens of Jasper and Hampton Counties. Critical needs like health, nutrition, and safety will be address through our elderly program.
​
HHC is a Tax Exempt 501© 3 non-profit organization that is funded solely through local grants, awards, philanthropic giving, fundraisers, and volunteerism. While the need is undeniably great, our elderly citizens continue to be vastly underserved and have become the forgotten of our community. We strongly believe that our community is made incredibly stronger when many Helping Hands and Hearts are joined together to address and help overcome the issues and barriers that challenge us both individually and collectively. We have seen so much, done a lot, but with your help, we can do so Much More…. For So Many More! Please give much thought to the work and mission of HHC and find us worthy of your support!
