5 Reasons to Establish The Joining Hands Program in your Community

1. Proven Way To Have A Positive, Meaningful Impact

• Eliminates the guesswork as to what to do, how to do it, or how to get started

• You know you have a great opportunity to make a positive and meaningful difference in people’s lives

2. Great Area to Focus Your Efforts

• Our communities are so important; they are the foundation and fabric of where we live; they encompass our families, friends, and neighbours, long-term residents and newly arrived, all those prospering and those disadvantaged

• If we are to make a meaningful difference in this world, why not start at home?

3. This Program Changes Lives

• The program is built on being relational, on building trust, on knowing and positively impacting the lives of the less fortunate

• The program has shown to be transformational and enduring; of impacting communities one person at a time
  

4.  The Joining Hands Program is Unique

• Rather than focusing on specific issues, the Joining Hands programgoes deeper, to the heart of the situation, to the families within our at-risk communities, to connect with and change the outlook and disposition of first the families, then the communities

• The program is designed to be preventative and enduring, by addressing the foundational concerns of being disconnected, alienated, and isolated

5.  This Program Requires Getting Involved

•  It requires a real commitment, takes time and effort for it to work, and requires a deep level of patience, humility, and service

• This program is not for everyone; it goes beyond simply donating money to a cause, or running an occasional activity; it requires an on-going participation in the lives of others, to know them, to show them love, to build an enduring trust

• This type of effort may not appeal to everyone, but to us, it is the only kind of work worth doing
