Jewish Helping Hands reaches out to needy and vulnerable populations, sponsoring projects that make a difference where help is most needed.
Working both in the United States and abroad, JHH projects provide ground-level financial and hands-on support, in an effort to meet the basic necessities of a decent life.
In each community where JHH works, local residents determine what would be most helpful. JHH works by supporting projects that make a tangible, substantial difference in the lives of people in need. These projects are accomplished with modest resources—both human and financial—that can be mustered realistically with a minimum of bureaucracy and red tape.
The work of Jewish Helping Hands is rooted in the Jewish principle of tikkun olam, the concept that we are called upon to be God’s partners in repairing what is broken in our world. JHH welcomes the participation and support of all those interested in joining in tikkun olam. Ideas for new projects come from anyone who can identify an unmet need, and is interested in joining the process of addressing it.
A little bit of help can make a big difference in someone’s life.
