At Cy-Fair Helping Hands, our goal is to serve the people of our community who need a helping hand, in addition to serving the homeless community. Hard times can arise through a variety of situations such as an illness, a divorce, a job loss, a natural disaster, a pandemic, or even the recent increase in the cost of living. CFHH is here to provide that needed hand when individuals and families are struggling.
If you need help with rent or utilities call 2-1-1 or visit www.findhelp.org. We do not provide assistance with rent or utilities.
