About Heart and Hands

A community built on dignity

For more than a decade, we have walked alongside individuals and families on their journey toward fuller, more independent lives.

Our Mission

Empowering every person we serve

Heart and Hands exists to walk alongside individuals on their journey toward fuller, more independent lives.

Through customized employment support, life-skills coaching, and community integration, we help every person we serve discover what they're capable of — and then go further.

For more than a decade, our team has partnered with families, employers, and local organizations to create real opportunities. We believe everyone deserves meaningful work, genuine friendships, and the chance to contribute.

No two journeys are alike, so no two plans are either. We listen first, then build a path that fits.

What we stand for

Our values

Empowerment

We build confidence by celebrating small wins and trusting people to lead their own lives.

Equality

Every person we serve deserves the same respect, opportunity, and access we'd want for ourselves.

Self-direction

We follow the participant's lead. Their goals, their pace, their definition of success.

Collaboration

Families, staff, employers, and communities all play a part — none of this works in isolation.

Stewardship

We treat every dollar, hour, and partnership as a trust to be honored.

Courage

We try new things, name hard truths, and keep showing up when the work is uncomfortable.

Our story

Built by families, for the long haul

What started as a small circle of caregivers and friends has grown into a trusted community resource serving hundreds of adults each year.

We don't measure success by the number of people we serve, but by the quality of life every person experiences — meaningful work, real friendships, a place at the table.
