Giving back through life-changing experiences.
At Guided Hands, our mission is to improve the lives of those in need by providing essential services and support to our communities. Founded in 2011, Guided Hands Foundation has been serving our communities for several years. Our organization was established to address the growing need of assistance for those facing housing instability, financial or social challenges. We believe that everyone deserves access to basic necessities such as food, shelter, and quality healthcare. We offer a variety of programs and referral services to meet the needs of our community. Our goal is to empower individuals and families to become self-sufficient and thrive.
The holiday season is a joyous time of year for many people, but it can be lonely for many senior citizens who may not have family or friend to celebrate with.
According to AARP, about 28% of people age 65 or older live alone and have fewer relatives and friends to provide company and care, which can lead to social isolation. The holidays can be especially difficult for those living independently and may be lonely, and this year’s challenges are likely exacerbating this for many.
Guided Hands Foundation once again is pleased to help put a smile on a senior's face by donating an item to be included in a holiday gift bag, hand delivered Christmas Eve morning.
Items Needed: Socks, slippers, large print books, crossword puzzles, gift cards, puzzles, picture frames, hard candy,
lip balm, cough drops and tissues.
Please contact the office at 312-465-3175 for drop off information.
Donation deadline: December 15, 2023
