Helping Hands Network is an independent non-profit organization that was created to provide funding for programs that help young adults with special needs. Their mission is to create community awareness and raise funds in support of organizations who believe that regardless of a persons background or disability, they should be able to enjoy life to its fullest and to participate in the mainstream of their community.

GlitterStarz partners with Helping Hands to provide internship and work opportunities to local Helping Hands members in our community.
