History

Heart to Hand Resource Center was founded on the principle that as God shares His love with us, we can reach out to others in need.

Before the doors of Heart to Hand Resource Center opened, founder Deb Ford was providing counseling services to clients of Baby Buds, a ministry to single moms in Aurora. During this time, Deb witnessed one of her clients lose temporary custody of her child because she did not have the means to provide food and housing. Another woman was put in jail because she did not have the finances to complete parenting classes in the court-allotted time. Still another woman was working day labor jobs, leaving her children alone in motels along East Colfax just so she could pay for yet another night of housing.

Through seeing individuals like these roaming around without a hope or a future, the vision of Heart to Hand Resource Center was born and opened it’s doors. Heart to Hand continues to provide counseling services, as well as additional services such as GED training, parenting classes, a food bank, and discipleship. Our goal continues to be taken from Isaiah 58:6-7…

“Is this not the fast that I have chosen; to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; when you see the naked, that you cover them. . . “

Through providing physical resources, our hope is to share God’s love with the community and to instill in each individual a hope and a future.
