Open Hands was founded in 1977 to provide volunteer home visiting, homemaker, and personal care services for the terminally ill and the elderly. Volunteers served 26 clients that first year. As needs grew during the next several years, more programs were added including Adult Day Services, Community Outreach Services and the Thrift Store. To accommodate an increasing number of clients, Open Hands launched a $3.9 million campaign in 1997 to construct a new facility and support expanded operations. Following a successful conclusion, we moved into our new state-of-the-art facility (pictured above) on Rodeo Park Drive East in 2001.
