Hands of The Carpenter (Hands) offers hope to single working women with dependent children, while providing automobile services, partnering in their efforts to remain employed and to strive toward economic self-sufficiency.
In April 2003, CEO and founder Dan Georgopulos, his wife Brenda, and other key leaders launched Hands of The Carpenter (Hands). Inspired by the stories of women facing challenges such as abuse, potential homelessness, or the loss of a spouse—circumstances that often lead to financial vulnerability—Dan founded Hands to offer meaningful assistance. The women they served shared fears about job loss if they couldn’t transport their children to school or themselves to work. Recognizing this, Hands narrowed the mission’s focus to providing reliable automotive services, giving women safe and timely support to help them achieve self-sufficiency and independence.
For more than two decades, Hands has continually adapted to meet the evolving needs of the women they serve. Owning a vehicle can sometimes be financially overwhelming, but with the right support, it can unlock new opportunities. Hands has built partnerships with organizations and automotive businesses to increase its capacity to serve. Through diverse fundraising methods—including traditional avenues, impact investments, and car donations—Hands has fostered a “Hands Community.” This network of businesses, churches, nonprofits, individuals, civic groups, and foundations collaborates to offer both practical assistance and hope.
