The Helping Hands Program is a church based program designed by the Eastern Tennessee Chapter.  The program was created to link and empower area churches to provide support, assistance, and a message of hope to individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, their families, and their caregivers. 

A Helping Hands Resource Library is available to religious institutions free of charge and contains books, pamphlets, and referral materials to assist the individuals and their loved ones in education and assistance with the disease.  The kit can be placed in the church library, vestibule, with the parish nurse, or any other place deemed useful for the congregation and is updated on a regular basis.  Churches or other institutions may choose to use this as an extension of their outreach efforts to the surrounding community as well. 

Contact Bobby Fields at (865) 544-6288 if your church is interested in obtaining a Helping Hands Resource Library.
