Helping Hands provides ministry for persons with disabilities (babies through adulthood) and their families. Helping people affected by disabilities and their families come to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Just as God showed His great love and compassion, this group wants to follow the Lord’s example in reaching out to people who have disabilities.
