Right Hand Foundation, the non-profit organization founded by Courtney Stewart, celebrated it’s one year anniversary in October of 2020. With its launch of Haven-2-Haven, the organization continued to serve its current families in Right Hand Havens and program graduates who need continued support after completing one year in a haven.
The program consists of four key services: housing, financial literacy, career coaching, and holistic wellness. The goal of the housing program is to provide families with long term housing, resources and an educational infrastructure to prepare them for independent sustainability. The participants engage in weekly education sessions, life-skills activities and income-savings programs. The participants’ children also receive education and social/emotional support.
In a recent Instagram post, Courtney gave special thanks to the city of East Point & the College Park Housing Authority for partnering with his foundation as well as recognizing the city of East Point Mayor, Deana Ingraham.
In this special holiday celebration Right Hand Foundation gave away HD television sets, gifts and toys from T.J. Maxx, food and water, and more special gifts for children. All participants wore masks and temperature checks and hand sanitizer was given at the door to help fight the spread of Covid-19.
Covid-19 has created a severe global economic crisis which has caused a recession; it is the worst global economic crisis since the Great Depression. Right Hand Foundation continues to support women and children through this crisis and has extended its charity for families for the long term. They also campaign for daily needs through monthly sponsorships, grocery cards, school supplies, and transportation services.
In a recent video Courtney explains how imperative it is to support the community through this time and has a goal to open more Havens in Atlanta and across the United States. If you would like to support this cause donations can be given via this link: http://righthandfdn.org/donate-with-us/
