Serving Anson, Chesterfield, Montgomery and Richmond counties, the Hands for HOPE (Helping Organize People for Empowerment) Regional Community Development Corporation envisions non-competitive collaborations with other entities to address the barriers of social, economic and political freedoms at all levels in the Pee Dee Basin Region.
Our organization is designed to enhance and offer additions in programming to currently existing programs in the four-county region, and to establish new programming when it does not exist. Our organization does not operate any programming except to ensure that grant guidelines are followed and measured success is available for all persons and things.
Targeted areas for improvement are: -
Faith-Based Counseling
- Female Empowerment
- Literacy
- Transportation Assistance
- Tutoring
- Parenting
- Natural Resources
- Animal Life
