Helping Hands Relief Foundation changes its name to Hizmet Relief

Prominent Turkish-American humanitarian aid organization, the Helping Hands Relief Foundation, has changed its name to Hizmet Relief. The organization will continue to operate in its current structure and the current contacts will remain unchanged. However, the foundation has a new website: http://hizmetrelief.org/

Hizmet Relief is a non-profit organization that brings together teams of volunteers to collaborate on local aid and disaster relief efforts. These teams provide an array of support, offering to assist financially, emotionally, and physically with the needs of families and communities ravaged by disaster.

Hizmet Relief, once founded as a regional organization of North East, will be become a nationwide organization with branches in states like Illinois, Texas and Georgia.

The foundation collects, delivers and distributes supplies and resources to families, individuals and institutions. Hizmet Relief also arranges financial aid such as scholarships, stipends and school supplies to students in need, in addition to materials and supplies for handicapped individuals for their everyday living.

Understanding the importance of embracing humanity with a compassionate heart Hizmet Relief extends its contributions and volunteerism beyond the United States. For this reason, its objective is to provide aid and such services both domestically and internationally regardless of race, religion and ethnicity, giving the priority based only on the seriousness and urgency of the need. Hizmet Relief does its best to improve and enhance the lives of individuals and communities on both local and global scale.

Hizmet Relief, then Helping Hands Relief Foundation, mobilized the community in the aftermath of disasters such as Hurricane Sandy and Oklahoma Tornado.

Hizmet Relief has ongoing projects in other parts of the world as well. It is building a dormitory in Van, Turkey as it was hit by an earthquake of 7.2 magnitude that killed more than 600 people in October 2011. The dormitory will open in September 2013 and will cost $450,000.

The Soup kitchen in Kenya is being built to lessen the pains of famine in the country. It will begin serving food to more than 1500 people a day on October 2013. Hizmet Relief and Turkish Charity Kimse Yok Mu will provide the food for the soup kitchen through volunteers from Hizmet Relief. The size of the soup kitchen will be 7,100 sq/ft and approximately 30 employees will work in this facility. The project will cost $250,000.
