Long Island Lending A Helping Hand (LILAHH) is a homegrown nonprofit 501C3 charity that comes from the heart. Originally run out of the home of our president, Dawn Lang, we have grown from humble beginnings.  From organizing efforts with personal friends, to including local businesses and charities to expand our reach and impact on the community.

​

Our mission is to support our neighbors by providing guidance and assistance as they work to overcome challenges or make ends meet.  Our non-profit 501c3 volunteer-led community center provides food, personal care items, other necessities, programs and services to anyone in need.

 

We here at LILAHH understand how hard it can be to overcome life's challenges. We are here to help. We guide clients to help them get back on track, and lend a helping hand whenever possible.

​

While our primary focus is on providing food, we understand that food-insecure families often face other challenges. In response, we have expanded our programs to address their social, emotional, and physical needs. This includes offering toiletries, baby essentials, holiday distributions, special programs (such as Lil Hands school snacks, breakfast bags, birthday bags, and personal care kits), as well as 'free' yard sales.

 

We are here to empower and encourage families and individuals by building a better community and life for all. We are so blessed to have our friends, family and community come together to support this cause.
