The clothing is all brand new, and of very high quality, and is available to hurricane victims free of charge. The clothing comes from stores such as The Rogue, The Limited, Abercrombie and Fitch, Victoria's Secret, LUCKY, Ann Taylor Loft, and many others. HANDS' goal is to provide a place for people to come and "shop" with dignity. We are working through schools first, to deliver two to three complete outfits to each child, teacher and faculty member, including underclothes, shoes, socks, shirts, pants, and jackets. We are also working through local businesses to meet the wardrobe needs of their employees and their families. We will continue to reach out to each community until all the needs are met. Family Connection Program Through the Family Connection Program, HANDS is uniting affected families with sponsor groups that can assist in supporting their physical and emotional needs. The goal of the Family Connection Program is to match these families with sponsor groups for a period of one year. During this year, the sponsor group’s responsibilities will be twofold. First, the group will provide support to assist the family with food, clothing, and other household needs, including helping refurnish damaged homes. Second, the groups will need to address the family’s emotional needs. This aspect will require regular phone conversations with the family, remembering holidays and birthdays, and possibly organizing trips to personally meet with the family in person. Until partnered with a sponsor, HANDS is assisting the applicant families with their clothing needs. If you are interested in adopting a family or would like to know more about becoming a sponsor, please contact Hands immediately.

Family Connection Program Through the Family Connection Program, HANDS is uniting affected families with sponsor groups that can assist in supporting their physical and emotional needs. The goal of the Family Connection Program is to match these families with sponsor groups for a period of one year. During this year, the sponsor group’s responsibilities will be twofold. First, the group will provide support to assist the family with food, clothing, and other household needs, including helping refurnish damaged homes. Second, the groups will need to address the family’s emotional needs. This aspect will require regular phone conversations with the family, remembering holidays and birthdays, and possibly organizing trips to personally meet with the family in person.

Family Connection Program Through the Family Connection Program, HANDS is uniting affected families with sponsor groups that can assist in supporting their physical and emotional needs. The goal of the Family Connection Program is to match these families with sponsor groups for a period of one year. During this year, the sponsor group’s responsibilities will be twofold. First, the group will provide support to assist the family with food, clothing, and other household needs, including helping refurnish damaged homes. Second, the groups will need to address the family’s emotional needs. This aspect will require regular phone conversations with the family, remembering holidays and birthdays, and possibly organizing trips to personally meet with the family in person. Until partnered with a sponsor, HANDS is assisting the applicant families with their clothing needs. If you are interested in adopting a family or would like to know more about becoming a sponsor, please contact Hands immediately. Thanksgiving on the Coast HANDS provided a sumptuous Thanksgiving meal for approximately 500 individuals and families along the Gulf Coast. The “event” was held at St. Clair Catholic School, in Waveland, MS on Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 2005. The event was hosted by Congressman Chip Pickering and his extended family, numerous HANDS volunteers, and Joe Scarborough, of MSNBC’s Scarborough Country. All the food was prepared under the direction of Leisha Pickering, and included the traditional Thanksgiving menu, as well as specialty foods, appetizers, and desserts. There were organized children’s games, and televisions set up to watch the holiday bowl games. HANDS also gave away door prizes and other goods to many needy families. The goal of this event was to bring the community together for a time of fun and fellowship; to help restore normalcy, dignity, and hope. Old info from the other record that was combined with this one. Christ United Methodist Church is the original organization. Hands Distribution was started as a separate organization at the same site, separate because of insurance reasons.

notes: 7/18: Many of the "available" items are not necessarily available at the moment. Call for details and register your organization to get on the list so that when donors call, HANDS can tell them what it would take to satisfy the region! 7/18: CAT VOLUNTEERS TAKE NOTE: this is a new approach, developed today. We're going to mark items "available" if that site "often gets that kind of thing", even if the items aren't currently available. This way, people can see what sites "usually get that kind of stuff". And they can call that site and register. In that way, those sites that specialize in a particular item can estimate the need for that region. Can send trucks to New Orleans. Send to Holy Cross, and City Team Impact ministries. Can deal with computers. More about Hands: Mobile Clothing Distribution HANDS is sending mobile clothing units to take donated clothing down to the coast. The clothing is all brand new, and of very high quality, and is available to hurricane victims free of charge. The clothing comes from stores such as The Rogue, The Limited, Abercrombie and Fitch, Victoria's Secret, LUCKY, Ann Taylor Loft, and many others. HANDS' goal is to provide a place for people to come and "shop" with dignity. We are working through schools first, to deliver two to three complete outfits to each child, teacher and faculty member, including underclothes, shoes, socks, shirts, pants, and jackets. We are also working through local businesses to meet the wardrobe needs of their employees and their families. We will continue to reach out to each community until all the needs are met.

The clothing comes from stores such as The Rogue, The Limited, Abercrombie and Fitch, Victoria's Secret, LUCKY, Ann Taylor Loft, and many others. HANDS' goal is to provide a place for people to come and "shop" with dignity. We are working through schools first, to deliver two to three complete outfits to each child, teacher and faculty member, including underclothes, shoes, socks, shirts, pants, and jackets. We are also working through local businesses to meet the wardrobe needs of their employees and their families. We will continue to reach out to each community until all the needs are met. Family Connection Program Through the Family Connection Program, HANDS is uniting affected families with sponsor groups that can assist in supporting their physical and emotional needs. The goal of the Family Connection Program is to match these families with sponsor groups for a period of one year. During this year, the sponsor group’s responsibilities will be twofold. First, the group will provide support to assist the family with food, clothing, and other household needs, including rebuilding and/or refurnishing damaged homes. Second, the groups will need to address the family’s emotional needs. This aspect will require regular phone conversations with the family, remembering holidays and birthdays, and possibly organizing trips to personally meet with the family in person. Until partnered with a sponsor, HANDS is assisting the applicant families with their clothing needs. If you are interested in adopting a family or would like to know more about becoming a sponsor, please contact Hands immediately. Thanksgiving on the Coast HANDS provided a sumptuous Thanksgiving meal for approximately 500 individuals and families along the Gulf Coast. The “event” was held at St. Clair Catholic School, in Waveland, MS on Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 2005. The event was hosted by Congressman Chip Pickering and his extended family, numerous HANDS volunteers, and Joe Scarborough, of MSNBC’s Scarborough Country. All the food was prepared under the direction of Leisha Pickering, and included the traditional Thanksgiving menu, as well as specialty foods, appetizers, and desserts. There were organized children’s games, and televisions set up to watch the holiday bowl games. HANDS also gave away door prizes and other goods to many needy families. The goal of this event was to bring the community together for a time of fun and fellowship; to help restore normalcy, dignity, and hope.
