Who We Are

In 1987, a group of concerned citizens from the Churches and Synagogues in Rye and Harrison came together to form a partnership ~ a partnership to aid the homeless and hungry in Westchester County. For over 25 years, this partnership has helped tens of thousands of Westchester residents, by distributing school supplies, food, toiletries, and underwear to our neighbors.

Our most important partners are you, our loyal supporters. Your generous response to our solicitations and enthusiastic help filling school backpacks are the reasons for Helping Hands' success and longevity. Simply put, Helping Hands is neighbors helping neighbors.
