Raising Hope, One Helping Hand at a Time
Hands of a Warrior is an outreach initiative by the Sheppard Pride Community Center Volunteers with a shared goal to bring awareness and provide support to victims of abuse and other circumstances beyond their control. We firmly believe that together, we can make a lasting impact on families in and beyond our own community, giving them a brighter, more hopeful future.
We host a variety of events and initiatives throughout the year, each designed to create community involvement, demonstrate solidarity, and raise funds for organizations and programs dedicated to helping families. By participating in our events, donors and supporters actively contribute to the wellbeing and empowerment of families, ensuring they receive the resources they need to thrive. Stand with us, lend a hand, and be part of the change – because Hands of a Warrior is about believing in the power of collective compassion to transform lives.
Ongoing Initiatives
The color purple has come to symbolize Domestic Violence Awareness Month during October, serving as a beacon of hope and support for survivors and their allies. To show our support and raise awareness, we ask our friends, local businesses, and neighbors to shine purple light bulbs on their front porches to demonstrate the power of community and solidarity.
Pick up your own purple light bulb today at the Andersonville City Office for a $6 donation. Cash and check accepted in person, or use the links below to pay online before picking up. Processing fees apply for online payments.
