Caring Hands - Indianola - St. Thomas Aquinas
Welcome to Caring Hands
Caring Hands, an initiative by House of Faith Open Bible, is committed to making a positive impact in the Indianola community. Our mission is to serve those in need, providing love, compassion, and support to individuals and families who may be struggling or going through challenging times.
Our Programs and Services
At Caring Hands, we offer a wide range of programs and services designed to meet the diverse needs of our community. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to ensure that everyone who comes through our doors is provided with the support and assistance they require. We believe in the power of unity, faith, and community to bring about positive change and transformation.
Food Assistance Program
One of our primary initiatives is our Food Assistance Program. We understand that access to nutritious food is a basic necessity that everyone should have. Through partnerships with local food banks, donations, and our own resources, we provide individuals and families in need with essential food items.
We also offer educational sessions on nutrition, cooking classes, and workshops on meal planning and budgeting. Our goal is not only to provide food but also to empower individuals to make healthier choices and develop sustainable solutions for their families.
Shelter and Housing Support
Homelessness and inadequate housing can have a profound impact on individuals and families. Through our Shelter and Housing Support program, we work closely with local shelters, housing agencies, and community partners to provide temporary shelter and housing assistance to those in need.
We understand that each individual has unique circumstances, and our team of dedicated professionals works to connect individuals with housing options, assist with rental and utility expenses, and provide guidance on securing stable housing. We believe that everyone deserves a safe and stable place to call home.
Counseling and Emotional Support
Life can present challenges that can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate alone. At Caring Hands, we provide counseling and emotional support services to individuals and families who are facing various difficulties. Our team of licensed counselors offers a safe and supportive environment for individuals to express their feelings, explore their concerns, and develop strategies for personal growth and healing.
We also organize support groups and workshops that address specific issues such as grief, addiction, stress management, and relationship challenges. Our aim is to promote mental health and well-being within our community.
Employment and Skills Development
We believe in the power of education and skills development to empower individuals and increase their employability. Through our Employment and Skills Development program, we offer job readiness training, resume building workshops, interview preparation, and job placement assistance.
We partner with local businesses and organizations to provide internship and apprenticeship opportunities, allowing individuals to gain valuable work experience and acquire new skills. Our goal is to support individuals in achieving economic independence and stability.
