Our Mission
Handing Out Hope’s mission is to provide survivors and victims of human trafficking and homelessness with emotional and financial support to become independent and successful individuals.
“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness”
Our Story
How we began
Handing Out Hope had been a long-time dream of founder Heather Finn. “During the summer of 2020, we were seeing homelessness and trafficking in young youth grow tremendously in Arizona”
Our journey
“We started servicing a large homeless camp in downtown Phoenix. Speaking with the young women, I found most were trafficked, and I needed to educate myself. I started volunteering with larger organizations that offered trainings, outreach education, services, rescue centers and the tools to continue to educate myself and others.”
Where we are going
“As we continue to grow our grassroots non-profit and partner with other nonprofits, our goal is always to help a victim or survivors find the safe place they deserve.”
“We make sure every beautiful soul we meet knows we care enough and can be trusted to help set themselves up for success in their future”
