The Hands and Feet

Serves foster, kinship, and biological families with an open child welfare case — delivering essential items within 48 hours of a referral. No family navigating the child welfare system should face those first critical days without practical support, and The Hands and Feet makes sure they don't.

Provides post-adoption support and financial assistance for adoption-competent mental health services — helping adoptive families sustain healing long after permanency is finalized. Adoption is not the end of the journey; it is the beginning, and Waves of Healing walks alongside families through what comes next.

When a referral comes in, The Hands and Feet acts within 48 hours — assembling and delivering essential items directly to families. Speed is part of their model because the moment a family most needs to feel supported is right when their child welfare case begins, not weeks later when logistics are sorted.

Active wishlists allow donors to purchase specific needed items year-round. Volunteers can sort donations at the warehouse or host a community drive. Every financial or in-kind contribution goes directly toward delivering help and hope within 48 hours.
