"There is not a man of us who does not at times need a helping hand to be stretched out to him, and then shame upon him who will not stretch out the helping hand to his brother." --Theodore Roosevelt

What if someone had an idea?

An idea that would grow into an nationwide effort to lend a helping hand.

What if leaders took a bold, decisive step?

What if lawmakers created an agency to help families lift themselves up again?

   We are that agency.

We have been providing a helping hand to families since 1936.
