The Helping Hands Charity founder by Salvador Andrade a former worker for a 501C3
wanted to find a way help families in need here in Houston. So came the idea to start
Helping Hands Charity an independent Houston charity and thrift store dedicated to
helping struggling families. Now this charitable organization provides free assistance to
over 1,500 families per year in the Houston area.
The center provides emergency clothing and household essentials free of charge to
families with substantiated needs. We are always accepting your charitable donations
from all over Houston.
At Helping Hands Charity shoppers can be assured that their purchases and donations
help the center provide clothing and household essentials to families in need. Our Home
set-up program is made possible by generous donations of clothing, furniture,
appliances, left-over garage sale lots, home-decor items, utility items or vehicles etc. -
collected daily by the center's prompt, scheduled donation pickup service.
"No organization could single-handedly respond to every family in crisis in a city as large
as Houston. We encourage our supporters to assist additional organizations as well,
such as Goodwill, Purple Heart and the Salvation Army. You can contribute to our charity
effort by shopping at our store, by monetary contributions and / or by donating clothes,
furniture, appliances, food, utility items or vehicles."
The center welcomes referrals from all churches in the greater Houston area. When a
church or non-profit group becomes aware of a family in need, that organization can
send the family to the Helping Hands Charity for assistance. The Church or non-profit
group should provide the family with a letter of referral written on the organization's
letterhead. Referrals should include the church or non-profit's contact information, type
of assistance needed and a brief summary describing the crisis situation.
Donation arrangements can be made by visiting our website at

The Helping Hands Charity also encourages the support of other like-minded
organizations in the Houston area. For more information on donating or shopping at The
