Our Community Commitment
_edited_edited.png)
Holden Hands was born out of urgency—a direct response to the growing economic disparities in Greater Cincinnati. Founded in 2022, our mission is laser-focused on those hit hardest by financial hardship: families living below the poverty line, youth from low-income households, and individuals with limited access to basic resources.
Our purpose is simple but powerful: to close the gap for those who have been systematically left behind. We provide direct support—food, clothing, hygiene supplies, and resource connections—to children and families navigating the realities of economic instability. For them, this isn’t about convenience; it’s about survival, opportunity, and dignity.
​
We’ve already distributed over 20,000 essential items to more than 5,000 individuals—most of whom are youth and families in financially strained environments. But the need continues to grow.We believe in economic justice, and we act on it.
Whether it's a child showing up to school without winter gear or a parent choosing between rent and groceries, Holden Hands steps in to fill the gap. We’re not just offering charity—we’re building pathways out of generational poverty.
With the support of brands, banks, and sponsors committed to community impact, our reach is growing. Together, we can change the trajectory of underserved communities—starting with our most vulnerable: children from economically challenged homes.
