Our Mission
NJ/PA Helping Hands is a team of volunteers aimed at making a positive impact in our community. By coming together and helping in small ways, our area will come out of this situation stronger than ever.
The NJ/PA Helping Hands Program currently has three flagship programs: allyship, tutoring, virtual companionship.
The Allyship Program matches volunteers with individuals to provide emotional and career support, grocery delivery, and more.
The Tutoring Program matches our volunteers with families and local organizations to support education efforts as schools reopen.
Lastly, the Virtual Companionship Program matches local volunteers with senior centers and other individuals in the local area.
Please help us spread the word and provide a helping hand!
