"Helping Hands is the best way to show that we follow Jesus Christ and do as He would do. I see other religious leaders, community leaders and individuals of all faiths joining this effort to make a difference in their community. This year's theme is 'Hand in Hand with Local Government' in hopes that when we offer our 'hands' to local governments, they will join hands with us to greatly benefit the members of that community."
