Thanks to our Teams in Haiti and Back Home

It has taken thousands of hands and hearts to build the churches, schools, homes, and lives we’ve been a part of in the past 30 years. Helping Hands for Haiti is forever grateful to all the brave souls who have traveled to Haiti to meet, love and pray with our Haitian brothers. And we’re equally grateful to the generous souls who’ve given dollars, food, clothing and support. Without all of you, God’s work cannot be done. Thank you. Here’s how you can join the team.
