Our Mission

To pray, teach, encourage, give, help and inspire people of all ages to make their dreams come true. Through events, programs and services to meet the needs of the community, Hayward's Hands thrives to serve out of love and compassion.

Tish Hayward founded the organization with the simple mission to pray, teach, encourage, give, help and inspire people of all ages to make their dreams come true.  Tish wanted to help whoever was in need. Her goal was to inspire and uplift. She was passionate about helping the Perry community and that in order to change the world, you have to start at home.

Hayward’s Hands is a place for individuals, families, volunteers, and supporters to learn about our free programs and services offered to those in need.  Our projects are many and varied. We originally began by helping with Christmas toys for the families in the community, serving food for the families at Ronald McDonald House and partnering with other organizations to provide food, transportation assistance and money. We are grateful for our opportunities to grow and reach more people.
