Learn More Our Focus Areas Making a Difference Our projects focus on spreading the love of Christ and serving the community through acts of kindness and charity. We aim to make a positive impact by reaching out to those in need and sharing the message of love and faith. Annual Christmas Blessing HLI Project Focus The Annual Christmas Blessing is an event in which we bless a certain amount of families with Christmas gifts, clothes, coats as well as resources. The families are randomly selected and allowed to breathe a little easier for the Christmas season. This year it's for 30 families (90 children) and we will do more if possible. If you'd like to donate for this cause, please see the donation methods below. Nights of Biblical Understanding HLI Spiritual Focus Our NBU nights have been put on pause for the time being. When it reconvenes, you will be able to join us via Zoom and get your questions answered concerning God, His Son, His Word, etc. Moderators are well-versed in the Christian faith and well-equipped to answer any questions you may have.

About Us The Full Story HLI began in June 2020 during a time when our communities were in dire need of resources. Our purpose was to help as many people as possible while spreading the love of Christ. Did we expect to continue and be here even in 2025? No, but we trust in Christ that He knows what He has in store for us! Over the past few years we have helped over 400 families attain food, clothing, resources, and various others needs for their growth. We aim to always be a blessing in even the smallest ways. We love you all with the love of Christ! Enough about us! Do you know Jesus Christ? Do you have a personal relationship with Him? Jesus lived a perfectly sinless life here on earth, died on the cross for our sins, and rose again from the dead on the 3rd day! He did these things so that you can have a relationship with the Father, gain salvation for free, and be freed from the shackles of sin. All you have to do is make the decision to place your faith and trust in Christ and His finished work! Not sure or have questions? Feel free to contact us below! We'd love to hear from you!
