who we serve
At Supportive Hands, we’re committed to uplifting individuals in our community who are experiencing homelessness or severe hardship. We focus on those who lack access to basic daily necessities such as food, hygiene, and shelter. Many of the people we help have fallen through the cracks of traditional systems — we step in to offer support, dignity, and hope.Our team meets people where they are, building trust through consistent outreach and the direct distribution of essentials. Every meal, hygiene kit, or warm gesture is part of our mission to restore humanity, one connection at a time.
our focus & future growth
At Supportive Hands, our outreach begins with meeting the most urgent needs of our community—access to food, hygiene products, and human dignity. Our current efforts focus on directly supporting individuals and families facing homelessness by providing essential care packages filled with nutritious food, toiletries, and other survival necessities.But this is just the beginning.As we grow, we aim to expand our reach and deepen our impact. Our future plans include:
Monthly outreach drives across underserved areas in Greensboro and surrounding cities.
Mobile resource pop-ups to bring food, hygiene, and support directly to those who can’t reach us.
Partnerships with local shelters, clinics, and other nonprofits to provide holistic care.
Workshops and guidance programs to help individuals transition from crisis to stability.
Long-term goals include opening a physical resource center with free showers, clothing, mental health support, and eventually, transitional housing and employment opportunities.
We believe that consistent, compassionate outreach builds trust—and trust is the foundation of real change. Supportive Hands is committed to growing with our community and alongside those we serve, guided by empathy, equity, and the belief that everyone deserves a chance to survive and thrive.
