Donations & Support

Hearts and Hands Community Development is proudly run entirely by volunteers. Every donation we receive is used solely for its intended purpose. When a contribution is designated for a specific cause, we guarantee that 100% of those funds go directly to that purpose, no overhead, no diversion. (For more details, please visit our FAQ page.)

The Orange Ride for Child Protection Awareness Event is our major annual fundraiser and awareness initiative. Your support, whether through donations, sponsorship, or active participation, is deeply appreciated. It enables us to continue our mission of protecting and uplifting children and families, while fostering safe, inclusive spaces where care, resilience, and community spirit can flourish. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps build a brighter, more compassionate future for all.

It’s not OK to hurt a child; every day it’s not OK.
