Fuel Our Mission

*Where We Are Going*

The Long-term vision of Hands and Feet includes three services.

 

One is to build real homes for folks that are deeply below the poverty line and would really struggle to ever own a home the traditional way. 

 

Two is have a free Lawn care & Cleaning service to care for the homes of the elderly as well as low income single parent households.

 

 

Three is kinda wild … something I haven’t seen before, but a idea placed on my heart years ago. A free boarding school for inner city kids on beautiful grounds with lovely architecture. An environment of class & wealth for those who would never have the chance to see that on a daily basis. Now this school would be academically astute as well as sculpt fundamental habits for a successful life. Such as a structured schedule, daily chores (cleaning, cooking, grounds keeping, etc.), sports & other group/team oriented clubs, plus weekly spiritual studies.

 

I understand these are dreamy aspirations, but a quick search will show that $150 to $200 billion are donated per year in the Christian community. There's also the option of adding the services that we offer, as paid services for those who can afford it. Using that money to fund the non-profit work. Something “similar” to the YMCA, Salvation Army, & Habitat for Humanity to name a few. We are also in the midst of a technological revolution. The exponential growth of AI accompanied by dramatic developments in robotics and engineering. AI being able to manage scheduling, automated CRM’s, and much more that I am not yet familiar with. Then robotics and engineering, producing amazing machines such as a 3D printer that can print a whole home! 

 

Point being, where there is a will, there is a way. Especially if it's God's plan!
