During my research seeking out partner ministries, Both Hands was another <\/span>special organization that <\/span>kept showing up and I was so impressed by the direct efforts they take to <\/span>serve <\/span>widows and orphans in such a beautiful community-focused way.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

We believe the Lord led us to this awesome ministry to help fulfill His purposes in a James 1:27.\u00a0 Both Hands\u2019 motto is \u201cOne for the widow, one for the orphan\u201d.\u00a0 Their purpose is straightforward and precise in its goals: “To help Christian adoptive families fund their adoptions by coordinating a service project fixing up a widow\u2019s home.” Here’s how it works:<\/p>\n

Gather a Team<\/b><\/h6>\n

The saying goes \u201cIt takes a village to raise a child.\u201d Both Hands believes it takes a village to bring one home, too! A Both Hands project starts with gathering around 10 family members and friends to serve as the foundation and support group of the project.<\/p>\n

Find a Widow<\/b><\/h6>\n

Widows are often overlooked in our communities and need help, but aren\u2019t sure how to find it. Both Hands guides a family through finding a widow in their community to serve for their project.<\/p>\n

Serve for a Day<\/b><\/h6>\n

On the project day, the family serves a widow alongside their team of volunteers. Both Hands encourages tasks to be labor-focused, such as painting, cleaning, landscaping and de-cluttering. They also coach families on how to get local merchants to donate any needed supplies.<\/p>\n

Raise Funds for an Adoption<\/b><\/h6>\n

The family and their team raise sponsorship for their project day through sending letters and sharing their fundraising webpage, raising an average of $14,006 (2019). Both Hands fundraises support for its operating costs through private donors, so NO funds raised by a family and their team are deducted for Both Hands\u2019 operating costs.<\/p>\n
