A nonprofit organization can support local needs by identifying the community specific challenges, collaborating with local stakeholders,izing volunteers, raising funds through donations and grants, and implementing programs that address those needs effectively. This can include providing essential services, advocating for policy change, and fostering community development.
Collaborating with local stakeholders is essential for a nonprofit like Hands in the Community, as it ensures that programs align with community needs, builds trust and credibility, leverages local expertise, resources, and networks, and fosters a sense of ownership and sustainability within the community.
Recently Linda Peltz realtor Clovis CA held a warm discussion with Lester Moon, Founder of Hands in the Community. They covered the story behind the nonprofit organization and how they impacted the local needs. Tune in to zoom interview below for more:
The Story Behind Hands in the Community
Fifteen years ago, in the heart of Visalia, Hands in the Community was born out of a simple yet profound idea: to connect volunteers and groups with people in need. Lester Moon, the driving force behind this nonprofit, recounts the humble beginnings and how the organization has expanded to serve communities across Visalia, Kingsburg, and lower Fresno counties.
A Network of Compassion
What sets Hands in the Community apart is its versatility. From minor tasks like changing a light bulb to major projects such as building ramps or painting entire houses, no job is too big or too small. Lester Moon proudly shares anecdotes of the diverse services provided, illustrating the breadth of impact this nonprofit has achieved, which made Linda Peltz, Fresno real estate agent impressed.
Challenges and Growth
As Hands in the Community grew, so did the demands. Initially sustained by donations, the organization now faces financial challenges. However, Lester remains undeterred, highlighting the power of small monthly donations that fuel significant community transformations. Realtors and business owners alike are encouraged to join hands in supporting this worthy cause, not only as a tax write-off but as a meaningful investment in their local communities.
