Helping Hands of Celina

Born in the hearts of local moms with a desire to love and serve the children of our community.  Our purpose is to meet the students’ essential needs by providing access to necessities – including clothing, hygiene items and shoes – through school counselors and teachers via our Campus Closets.  We are committed to removing barriers that prevent students from thriving and are especially passionate about ensuring no child misses out on meaningful school experiences or milestones due to need.  We extend our hands in partnership with the community as we come together to support those in need.

We Collaborate

With volunteers, businesses, churches & other organizations we are a “go-to place” for many organization referrals. We strive to collaborate with existing networks, organizations, and agencies to provide the best assistance possible to those in need. If there is a need that we cannot assist with at this time, we will assist you in figuring out who can.

We Are In This Together

As a non-profit organization, there is never a charge to anyone for services provided by HHOC.

Giving through the community, we turn every $1 donated into approximately $2 of goods and services by volunteers giving of their time, skills, and resources in order to help the underserved in our community. Together we can make a difference in people’s lives.

Services We Provide

Campus Closets
A Campus Closet exists on every CISD school campus to provide clothing, shoes, and hygiene items to students through support from counselors and teachers. Thanks to generous community donations and funds, we keep the closets fully stocked to remove barriers students face, ensuring they receive what they need with dignity. Our fun and respectful shopping experience helps students feel confident, cared for, and ready to thrive.


Milestones Matter: The Jennifer Cawlfield Legacy Fund
This fund ensures every student can participate in important school milestones — from attending school camp and prom to receiving yearbooks and caps and gowns — regardless of financial barriers. Because no student should ever miss out on the moments that matter.
