In the model of our founder, Blessed Michael McGivney, councils will lead efforts to assist those most in need.

The Helping Hands program is designed to recognize the important work many councils already do to care for the most disadvantaged members of our communities — the homeless, the addicted, the elderly who may feel isolated and abandoned, and many others. The requirements for this program are very broad in order to allow councils to serve their community in whatever way is most needed. One idea is to partner with Cross Catholic Outreach to see how you can serve your local community. For additional information visit kofc.org/helpinghands.

Please Note: Participating in the Helping Hands Program does not satisfy the programming requirements for the Food for Families Program. The two activities are separate and cannot be double counted. Also, this program is intended to be broad reaching within your community and not specific to certain individuals. It should address the needs of whole groups.
