About Us
Open Hands believes that all members of our community should be able to live with dignity and quality of life. We work hard on issues vital to the needs of our community while honoring our diversity amongst us.
Community begins with Open Hands
Since its founding in 1977, Open Hands has fulfilled its mission by delivering a combination of critically needed Adult Day and Community Outreach Services to northern New Mexicans. From working with 26 clients in its first year, the organization has grown to the most comprehensive program in northern New Mexico. You can count on Open Hands to help you or your family in a time of need. Whether you need a loan of medical equipment, help to create a safer home environment, financial assistance during a crisis or quality adult services provided in our state-of-the-art facility… you can turn to the professional staff at Open Hands for help.
New Mexico is a land that is rich in beauty, culture and diversity but hidden amongst this beauty is a great deal of need and poverty. Last year alone Open Hands served over 12,000 residents and the demand for our services is continuously growing. Over 80% of these clients were considered low income. According to recent studies, New Mexico is among the 10 top states having the largest increase in its 65 and over population and is projected to continue to grow.
As a non-profit we rely on funding from donors, government grants and subsidies to operate our many vital programs that our residents have come to depend on. However in an economy that is continually changing we realize that developing long term sustainability for our organization is key for our future. To that end we have developed a new department to generate additional funding; The Job Shop – Handyman services rates are competitive, and proceeds from this program directly benefit our programs. You can continue to help support your community by patronizing these businesses.
A Community Leader in New Mexico
We realize that an organization's reputation is its most valuable asset and we are proud to have earned the recognition, credibility and trust of our area's business leaders and their recognition of our services.
