Join us for an evening of music, community, connection, and support as we celebrate the relaunch of Project Helping Hands, a recovery housing and stabilization program operated by North Austin Foundation.

Whether you are in recovery, love someone who is, or simply believe in second chances and stronger communities, we would love to have you with us.

Tickets are free, with optional donations helping support the reopening of this important community resource.


Help Us Reopen Project Helping Hands

Project Helping Hands has long served as a safe, supportive environment for individuals working toward recovery and stability. After closing during the COVID-19 pandemic following the loss of critical funding, we are working to reopen the program and restore this important resource to our community.

Project Helping Hands is designed to serve as a short-term bridge between choosing sobriety and successfully entering treatment or long-term recovery support. For many individuals, the period immediately after deciding to seek help is one of the most vulnerable and high-risk stages of recovery. Without safe housing, structure, community support, and stabilization, many people are unable to remain sober long enough to access treatment opportunities.

The program provides a structured, substance-free environment where residents can begin rebuilding routines, strengthen recovery foundations, connect with support systems, and prepare for the next stage of treatment and long-term recovery.

This fundraiser will directly support:

  • Recovery housing relaunch efforts
  • Resident stabilization and support services
  • Facility improvements and operational needs
  • Recovery-focused programming and support
  • Community recovery initiatives

Whether you are in recovery, love someone who is, or simply believe in second chances and stronger communities, we would love to have you with us.
