With all of the needs we
have today, it feels like we have more bills than money. People are struggling to meet their day to day needs with not
enough help to make ends meet. Everywhere you go there are people who will help...for a price. That's not who we are.
We are a family based organization with the goal to serve our community through listening,
caring and volunteering.
Caring Hands Outreach, a division of Into the Light Ministries, is a federal
non-profit 501(c)(3) and 170(1)(a)(v1) charitable organization.
People believe that poverty is only found in third world countries. However,
this is not the case. Poverty is everywhere. Even in our own backyard. Let’s face it, the cost of family living is
very high today. Food prices have gone up and with a monthly check we are lucky to have enough money for gas after we
have paid the rent and bought groceries.
We are just regular people who care for the needs of others. We know what it
is like to struggle and to be without. Many of our volunteers have come from backgrounds of poverty and hunger. Some
have suffered from abusive lifestyles and some have lived with the burden of all manner of addictions. We see children
everywhere who are malnourished and wear the same clothes every day because that is all they have. Parents are unable to
provide all they need to keep their families healthy due to the loss of their jobs and the fact that there is nobody
hiring when they need a job. Because of these things many families struggle from day to day and children have little or
no stability in their lives.
We are human and we all have needs. But most of us need help from time to
time. We believe in caring for people without a price. Helping our neighbor and expecting nothing in return. We welcome
all who are in need and we do everything we can to see that those needs are met.
