La Mano Extendida: Serving Families in Crisis with Compassion and Care
Nonprofit Corporation | 501(c)(3) Tax-Exempt Status Pending
Every week, families in our community face hunger, fear, and instability — not because they’ve done anything wrong, but because they are experiencing crisis situations or struggling to make ends meet.
La Mano Extendida is a nonprofit grassroots initiative created to support low-income families and individuals facing hardship with dignity, discretion, and direct care. We are a registered nonprofit corporation with pending tax-exempt status through the IRS.
Who We Serve
We support families in crisis — including single parents, seniors, caregivers, and those facing unexpected hardship. Our services are always confidential and led with compassion. No documentation is ever required.
What We Provide
Through a growing network of volunteers and bilingual outreach, we deliver:
Nutritious groceries and pantry staples
Hygiene products (soap, toothpaste, menstrual care, etc.)
Baby essentials (formula, diapers, wipes)
Bilingual packets with legal, health, and local resource information
All items are delivered directly to families in need — with care, not judgment.
Where Your Donation Goes
Your generosity helps us cover the cost of:
Food, hygiene, and baby supplies
Bilingual flyers and outreach materials
Fuel and packaging for weekly deliveries
Emergency assistance for vulnerable families
Why It Matters
No one should have to choose between basic needs and dignity. In times of uncertainty, community support can be the difference between despair and hope. Your contribution helps us nourish families, uplift spirits, and show that no one is forgotten.
Please note: We are a nonprofit corporation and have submitted our application for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status with the IRS. Once approved, donations may be retroactively tax-deductible to the date of our application, subject to IRS determination.
Help us extend the hand. Carry the hope. Remind our neighbors they are not alone.
Please consider donating or sharing.
With gratitude and solidarity,
