Helping Hands began its mission in 2014, initially serving 40 families in Quail Valley. Larry started his journey with the organization by distributing food at a local mobile home park, an experience that deeply impacted him and fueled his passion for community service.

His dedication led to his appointment as a Director alongside his wife, Michelle, several years ago, where they both worked tirelessly to enhance the operations and reach of Helping Hands.

Under his leadership, Helping Hands has seen substantial growth, expanding from serving 450 individuals to over 5,000.

As President, Larry is set to lead Helping Hands through its next phase of operational expansion, aiming to reach even more Neighbors in Need throughout Canyon Lake and the surrounding communities. His leadership comes at a crucial time as the organization seeks to broaden its impact and improve its services.

The community of Canyon Lake and Helping Hands are fortunate to have such a dedicated leader like Larry, whose vision and tireless efforts continue to make a significant difference in the lives of many.
