Hearts To Hands outreach

What Hearts To Hands outreach does

Hand N Heart Inc (operating as Hand 'n' Heart, DBA Handnhearts) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in June 2017 by Trisha Baum and headquartered in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, with operational staging from a storage facility in Cherry Hill. The organization delivers direct street outreach services to homeless individuals and at-risk children across Pennsylvania and New Jersey, distributing food, clothing, love bags (blessing bags), toiletries, socks, and back-to-school supplies, while also facilitating placement into detox and treatment programs and curating external recovery and shelter resources. Its core recurring program is a biweekly Sunday morning Street Outreach in Camden and Burlington County, layered with seasonal community events (Stuff a Sock 'n' Warm a Heart, Back to School Backpack Drive, Socktober Sock Drive), the bookable 'Have our Founder Speak' awareness service, and a Community Resources & Referrals Hub linking beneficiaries to SAMHSA, NJ 211, and treatment locators.

The underlying technology footprint is intentionally lightweight: a public-facing Wix-hosted website (handnhearts.org) with an embedded PayPal donation button, an online booking calendar for speaking engagements, a downloadable volunteer application, a blog/News module, and organic social media channels (Facebook, Twitter @EmpathyNHope, Instagram @handnhearts). There is no proprietary platform, no mobile application, no AI/ML tooling, and no API surface; the digital stack exists primarily to support fundraising, volunteer recruitment, and event coordination rather than to operate the program itself.

The revenue model is a diversified nonprofit donation stack rather than a commercial sales motion. Primary inflows are individual donations routed through PayPal (paypal.me/HandnHeart), mailed checks payable to Hand N Heart Inc, phone donations, and email-based giving. Secondary inflows include corporate sponsorships and in-kind contributions from a roster including WaWa Foundation, Marshalls, Charming Charlie's, Kohl's, Five and Below, Bombas, Amazon, Nesevich Law, Enterprise Holding, Hillman Consulting, and StickerYou.com, plus community-driven fundraisers (Love Bag parties, car washes, shoe drives, bake sales, color runs), grants and charitable gift giving programs, and donations-accepted founder speaking engagements. The go-to-market is event-driven and community-led, relying on recurring public outreach events, grassroots word-of-mouth, and earned media (Fox 29, South Jersey Magazine, NAWBO, Burlington County Times, Santander/Eagles Community Quarterback). The organization has received no equity investment, discloses no revenue, and operates with a small 3-person named leadership team plus an unsized broader volunteer base.
