Helping Hands volunteer Adam Lyons is introducing a pilot project this May to provide underprivileged residents and families with unique employment and financial opportunities
Helping Hands is coming up with a new way to assist underprivileged residents living in Sault Ste. Marie as the charitable organization enters its 10th year in community service.
The monthly family would receive the first $250 gift card and then be required to meet certain conditions to receive the other $250. “We want to approach it with a hand up and not a handout perspective,” he says. “The 500 bucks is a stepping stool – it’s not a handout. But we are offering to help. “I was trying to think of ways to help people in need without doing a big giveaway,” he says. “I found we were doing some giveaways with Helping Hands, but it wasn’t doing as much as we had hoped for the people we serve.”“We’ve had a lot of response from community members and local businesses,” he says. “There are 13 or 14 sponsors on board already, so we’re already set until May of next year.
