Louisville
Our hometown of Louisville, Kentucky is no different than any other region we serve. We have diverse groups yearning to work together to achieve a common goal. We want to bridge the gap of various areas in Louisville by creating conversation, enhancing the community and building lasting relationships for our town through community impact projects such as alley clean-ups and home repairs.
“Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.” – Muhammad Ali, Louisville’s Hometown Hero
For years, Hand in Hand has dreamed to serve locally. In 2016, a Louisville Center Ignite team made this dream a reality with the Louisville Urban Immersion Program.
This program devoted to building relationships in our hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. Prompted by a local pastor the question arose, “Why are you flying over your own mission field?” With need in our own backyard, it was time to reevaluate how we lend a hand and how we change lives.
This program invites you to work with local residents on a variety of accessibility and home repair projects determined by the community itself.
Volunteers take part in area activities and eat at neighborhood restaurants. We offer day trips for any size group and overnight immersion trip opportunities for groups of up to 18 individuals. We welcome individuals, churches, youth groups, colleges, and businesses.

If you or a group is interested in participating or creating a service day, please contact Allison Ridenour at (502) 459.9930 or allison@myhandinhand.org to get started. Donate now.
Our international headquarters in Portland is the perfect place for a retreat, business meeting or service opportunity. Whether it’s a one-week alternative college 
spring break or an overnight ladies’ church group, a full-day immersion/service day or you just need a meeting space for a couple of hours, our facility can suit a variety of needs.
The retreat center also houses our volunteers as they participate in community impact projects. They will stay in the second floor of our Louisville office building, which has been converted into living space with sleeping for 18 individuals, bathrooms, a full kitchen, a seating/lounge area, and a multi-purpose room for gathering.
