About Us
SacredHand Canada (SHC) is a registered international Canadian Charity that was established by a network of women and youth in 2008. Founded in Ontario, Canada. SHC's operations are uniquely volunteer-run. Our organization operates several projects to provide services on the front-line by supplying food and hygiene kits to single-family units, seniors, refugees and immigrants, people living with disabilities and people with limited mobility. We deliver culturally sensitive and relevant provisional items by placing ourselves in the shoes of our beneficiaries. Our front-line experience and and knowledge leads us to address systemic issues behind the cause and allow us work towards collective solutions. SHC is built on team effort and realizing that more can be accomplished with collaborative work and shared goals.

Our Mission

SHC's mission is to work with all communities in different roles without discrimination. Our focus is to help individuals living with mental health challenges, homelessness, disability, and domestic violence. Our work is inspired and based on Canadian values of human dignity, self-reliance, and social justice. SHC fulfills the nutritional and provisional needs of all qualifying individuals from impoverished and marginalized backgrounds, without the consideration of race, gender, religion, or status. We operate our projects with full transparency by fulfilling commitments and holding ourselves accountable for donations entrusted to us. We strive to fulfill our mission of providing for people in need, whether it requires us to deliver food to them or to provide them with shelter if they are in an abusive situation. SHC believes in providing active support in enabling the less fortunate to get back on their feet and step into the world with dignity.
