“Phil Petty and Extended Hands have been invaluable partners to the Family Service Association, supporting our mission in numerous impactful ways. Phil has served on our Board of Directors for six years, during which he played an instrumental role in advancing our organization.

Through Extended Hands, Phil helped pay off the mortgage for our Domestic Violence Shelter, providing survivors with a secure and stable refuge. Their support has also been transformative for homeless and disabled veterans in our Jackson Street Commons program, ensuring they receive the care and resources they deserve. Additionally, Extended Hands has brought hope and healing to children recovering from abuse and has bolstered our Healthy Families program, allowing it to continue delivering essential services to our community.

We are profoundly grateful for Phil Petty and Extended Hands' unwavering dedication and generosity. Their contributions have made a lasting difference in the lives of countless individuals and families.”

“Extended hands has been such an amazing blessing to Upward Sports @ Heartland Church! For the past two years, they have supported the program by sponsoring the concession stand at our sporting events, which are held on Saturdays in January & February at the church. Their sponsorship has enhanced our program, serviced the community, and has helped us build relationships.

Extended hands involvement as enabled us to funnel the concession proceeds back into our program.”

“In 2023, Extended Hands and Helping Our Homies partnered for the first time, and it was a truly transformative experience. The compassionate team at Extended Hands had a mission: to provide a hot meal for the unsheltered and equip them with survival backpacks filled with essential items for those living outside. That day, we connected with over 20 individuals—lives forever changed by the love, kindness, and unwavering support of the Extended Hands Ministry.

Helping Our Homies was also honored to receive a generous donation from the golf outing organized by Extended Hands. But their dedication didn’t stop there. During the Point-in-Time Count, they once again showed up and showed out—delivering over 30 bags packed with much-needed supplies for the unsheltered community.

We are eternally grateful for our partnership with Extended Hands, Inc. They are doing incredible work in our community, and we look forward to continuing this journey together, bringing hope and support to those who need it most.”
