When God breathed His vision for By The Hand Club into reality 20 years ago, nobody could have imagined the lives transformed, the families changed and the communities impacted. But God did. In the coming weeks, we will begin celebrating 20 Years of Possible. We have so much planned for 2021. You won’t want to miss it!

And eventually, become college graduates.
Our KidsWhen you make The Solution possible, you help children feel secure and welcomed during the most dangerous time of day, when most crimes are committed against youth. You break down barriers to learning by providing nutritious meals, comprehensive healthcare and professional counseling. And you give them the gift of wonderful experiences such as summer camps, sports and art.
Our KidsWhen you make The Solution possible, you help kids have abundant life—life found only in Jesus. You help them understand just how much God loves them. That he has a unique plan for their lives. And you make it possible for them to get spiritual guidance and personal mentoring from caring and involved adults—who will help them make wise decisions for the future.
