​Whether you're a local business looking to get some odd jobs checked off the list or a local resident in need of a helping hand, we are ready to work for you. Teams are assembled by project managers who know our homeless neighbors well, and vet each worker over a period of weeks before they set foot on a job. ​Get in contact with us today and we will get working with you on making Laguna Beach a better place to call home for everybody. There are two ways to put us to work:

---

1. Suggest a service project for yourself or someone in need (no cost)

Our main goal is to be a positive impact on the community of Laguna Beach by serving and bettering the lives of all residents. So we are always on the lookout for ways the local homeless can serve this community by giving a helping hand to anyone in need.

2. Start a work project now & put us to work today! (fee based)

We also aim to improve the economic constraints and liabilities homelessness brings to the community as well. That's why Helping Hands pays all of our homeless workers a non-cash stipend equivalent to about $11 per hour on every single project we do. That's also why we encourage local businesses or wealthy residents who routinely hire staff to pay a tax deductible fee-for-service for reliable, inexpensive labor. This brings economic benefit to the business who otherwise may have trouble finding the labor force and of course offsets the donor support wages of all the homeless workers in this program. Start a project below and and put us to work for you.

Understanding fee-for-service

---

As a 501 (c) (3) Non-Profit Organization your fee for using homeless workers is 100% tax-deductible. Fee’s are agreed upon in advance based on the number of workers your work project requires.
Fee-for-service is our way of providing an option for an inexpensive labor force to local businesses. No service project recipient will ever be asked to pay a fee and the wages of workers on service projects are 100% donor supported.
