Our Annual Fundraiser is Many Helping Hands' largest event of the year and plays a vital role in sustaining the services we provide to individuals experiencing homelessness. This year marks our 13th Annual Gala, an evening filled with fun, fellowship, and community spirit. Guests will enjoy a delicious meal, exciting games, a silent auction, and our beloved Soup Tasting Competition. It is always a memorable evening celebrating the supporters who make our mission possible.

Since our founding in June 2013, Many Helping Hands has grown from serving a weekly Thursday Night Dinner and clothing outreach to operating Irving's only Day Center for adults experiencing homelessness, which opened in July 2022. Through every season, we have never missed a Thursday night meal, remaining committed to serving our community with dignity, hope, and love.

Many Helping Hands serves as a low-barrier "front door" to services for individuals experiencing homelessness in Irving. For many of our clients, we are their first point of contact for help, providing a safe and welcoming place where immediate needs are met and pathways toward stability begin. We address critical needs by providing hot meals, clothing, hygiene supplies, showers, laundry, healthcare access, ID assistance, transportation, recovery support, and resource navigation. We are the first and only nonprofit dedicated to providing year-round homeless services in Irving.

Transportation is a key component of our ministry, ensuring individuals can access our Day Center, Thursday Night Dinner, healthcare appointments, employment opportunities, and other essential services. We also work to reunite clients with family whenever possible, including providing one-way transportation to supportive family members in other locations.

In 2025, Many Helping Hands served 803 unique individuals, provided more than 27,000 meals, 3,983 showers, 1,660 loads of laundry, assisted 50 individuals with obtaining identification, and helped more than 20 individuals secure housing.

With more than a decade of experience, MHH has built trusted relationships within the homeless community. Our holistic, compassionate approach recognizes that every individual's journey is different. By meeting people where they are and partnering with other organizations to provide complementary resources and services, we help create personalized pathways toward long-term stability, self-sufficiency, and hope.
