2024 In Review: A Transformative Beginning

2024 was a transformative year for Grace Helping Hands, marking the launch of our mission to uplift homeless women and children by providing essential toiletry kits and restoring dignity through compassion in action.

Founded in Columbia, Maryland, on August 26, 2024, Grace Helping Hands sprang into action with a clear vision — to make a tangible difference in the lives of those facing housing insecurity.

Operational Highlights

In December 2024, we took our first major step forward, distributing 370 toiletry kits to women and children experiencing homelessness. Each kit provided not just vital hygiene supplies, but also a message of care, hope, and community support.

This effort was made possible through strong partnerships with incredible local organizations, including:

• City of Refuge, Baltimore

• Community Action Council of Howard County

• Grassroots Crisis Intervention

• Laurel Multiservice Center

• Interfaith Works

Achievements

• Delivered 370 toiletry kits in December 2024, offering immediate relief to those in need.

• Forged impactful partnerships with local shelters and community organizations, expanding our reach and deepening our impact.

• Established a dedicated and visionary Board of Directors to guide our growth.

• Completed all essential registrations, certifications, and planning documents, laying a strong foundation for our mission’s future.

As we look ahead, we are filled with gratitude for the support and partnerships that made our first year such a success. 2024 was just the beginning — and we’re excited to continue building on this momentum in 2025, reaching more families and creating lasting change together.
