A nonprofit rooted in the power of belonging
We create opportunities for children and communities to practice generosity — not as charity, but as connection.
Why We Exist
The Helpers is built on a simple idea: that generosity is something we grow through practice.
We believe that giving is a form of participation — a way to belong to a place, to one another, and to the future.
Our work is inspired by children, by nature, and by the deep wisdom of gift economies. It’s not about what people need — it’s about what they have to offer.

How You Can Participate
The Helpers isn’t just a nonprofit — it’s an invitation.
You can participate by hosting a gift table, growing a plant, sharing your time, or simply noticing the places where generosity still lives.
This isn’t about scaling up. It’s about deepening in.
