HESED HANDS
WELCOME
We are a non-profit organization that seeks to help individuals in need.
The Hebrew word “khesed” is difficult to translate into English. We believe “Hesed” expresses a sense of love that inspires caring behavior towards our fellow human beings. Jesus spoke of what is known as the “Great Commandment” as described in Matthew 22:35-40. "One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 'Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?' Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
WHAT WE DO
Hesed Hands is created to act on the second commandment of “Love your Neighbor” and we do this through an act of kindness. These acts of love may be the purchase of groceries or a needed appliance to the repairing of a home (and anything in-between). These acts of kindness come with dialogue surrounding the First Commandment of “Loving the Lord your God.” In the end, we desire to love our neighbor and bring them to know the Lord. We believe small acts of kindness will open the opportunity to have a dialogue. We will rely on the Holy Spirit to complete the process.
