Purchase a Hope Plaque in Memory of a Loved One
We recognize that many of our houseless brothers and sisters who are no longer with us do not have a place to recognize their lived experience and time here with us.
For those interested, we offer memorial plaques located at the Bybee Lakes Hope Center. These are not donations, but simply an offering to remember these members of our community who are no longer with us.
Non-Tax Deductible and No Profit made by Helping Hands.
More Ways to Give
Stocks and Securities
Make a bigger impact by donating long-term appreciated securities, including stock, bonds, and mutual funds, directly to Helping Hands. Compared with donating cash or selling your appreciated securities and contributing the after-tax proceeds, you may be able to automatically increase your gift and your tax deduction.
In-Kind Donations
All of our Hope Centers serve hundreds of people a year, and we couldn't do it without the support of our local communities. From necessary items to operate the shelters like cleaning supplies, food, or bedding, to items for participants such as socks, hygiene products, and more, your in-kind donations make a huge difference.
