A Hand Up Resources and Community Outreach is committed to empowering underserved communities in the Midwest with education and support. We focus on critical issues like mental health, child poverty, and the care of seniors and veterans. Hand Up Resources and Community Outreach mission addresses critical gaps in support systems for underserved communities, particularly those facing issues such as Seniors and Veterans housing, mental health, child poverty, and opioid addictions to name a few. The primary problem we solve is the limited access to resources and education that individuals and families in these communities encounter. This lack of access results in a vicious cycle of disadvantage, where temporary fixes are mistaken for solutions. Unlike traditional methods that often consider help as merely a handout, our approach focuses on education and empowerment, equipping community members with the knowledge and skills necessary to uplift themselves and foster sustainable growth
