Helping Hands
Helping Hands began as a handful of people within PSI coming together and selling baked goods to raise money for Toys for Tots. Over time, it has blossomed into PSI’s Helping Hands.
Circle of Hope is a local non-profit shelter serving battered and trafficked women and children. Towels, sheets, cookware, etc were also provided for our community.
Mission McGuire is a local non-profit serving our community veterans and homeless. Named after local Navy Veteran Justin McGuire who passed in 2021, MM provides necessities otherwise unattainable when living on the street. MM also assists veterans and the homeless with accessing shelters, addiction recovery services, mental health services and more.

Bake Sale Fundraiser
Lyman Hall Elementary School- A local school with ties to our PSI family- Helping Hands was able to provide over 20 backpacks filled with the complete list of required school supplies, as well as extra materials for teachers. School faculty were vocally thankful and tearful. We heard stories of how often teachers are purchasing these materials from their own pockets- not always able to furnish all needed items for all lacking students. Lyman Hall Day was moving for all of us.
