Who We Are
Founder & CEO Message
Extend A Helping Hand Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was created from a deep commitment to service and a firsthand understanding of the challenges faced by underserved communities. As a Community Health Worker (CHW), I have had the privilege of working closely with individuals, families, and seniors who navigate daily barriers to healthcare, resources, and opportunity. Those experiences shaped not only my passion, but the purpose behind this organization.
Community Health Workers play a vital role in bridging gaps between communities and the systems meant to serve them. We listen, advocate, educate, and connect people to resources in ways that are rooted in trust and cultural understanding. As a CHW, I have witnessed how meaningful change happens when support is delivered with compassion, consistency, and respect. That perspective is the foundation of everything we do at Extend A Helping Hand.
This organization was built to meet people where they are—without judgment and with dignity. Through community outreach, education, and resource navigation, we work to remove barriers that prevent individuals from thriving. Whether supporting families, empowering seniors, or strengthening access to care, our mission is guided by the belief that everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and supported.
Extend A Helping Hand Foundation is more than a nonprofit—it is a reflection of community leadership in action. We are proud to collaborate with Community Health Workers, partners, and volunteers who share a commitment to equity, wellness, and sustainable impact. Together, we are extending compassion, creating pathways to opportunity, and building stronger, healthier communities.
Thank you for being part of this journey and for helping us continue to extend a helping hand.
