About We Are Active Helping Hands

Because Every Hand Truly Counts

Founder – Monae Harris

At Every Hand Counts, we believe that real change begins with compassion, connection, and community. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to uplift vulnerable individuals through direct support, empowerment programs, and human-centered care.

Founded with the vision of creating practical, sustainable solutions for people facing hardship, our work spans across youth mentorship, mental health access, elder support, and essential resource distribution. We focus on underserved populations, offering help where it’s needed most — from young people seeking guidance, to seniors in need of everyday essentials, to individuals rebuilding their lives after crisis or incarceration.

What We Do:

  • Youth Rise™ Mentorship & Job Prep
    We prepare the next generation with mentorship, soft skills training, and career exposure to help them succeed personally and professionally.
  • Mind Forward™ Mental Health Initiative
    We remove barriers to mental health care through therapy sponsorships, crisis support, and recovery coaching — especially for those without insurance or support.
  • Golden Care™ Elder Assistance
    From hygiene kits to wellness check-ins, we offer aging members of our community dignity, safety, and compassion.
  • Unity Cart™ Community Giveaways
    Monthly pop-up events provide food, clothing, hygiene supplies, and trauma kits, with a joyful, inclusive atmosphere driven by local volunteers and partners.

Why We Exist:
We know the challenges people face can’t always be solved by large systems alone. That’s why we take a grassroots approach — building trust, meeting people where they are, and showing up consistently.

Our founder, Monae Harris, created this platform with the belief that everyone deserves a chance — and that sometimes, a small act of care can lead to a big transformation.

We’re not just an organization. We’re a movement powered by everyday people who want to make a difference. Whether you volunteer, donate, or spread the word — your hand counts too.

Every voice matters. Every step forward counts. Every hand helps.
