Our Vision and History
A Hand Up Group, Inc. exists to offer help, hope and a hand up. Our President, Mario Matos, has been generously giving of his time and talents on mission trips both locally and globally. We are thankful that his love for God and people are at the forefront of all he does.
It is no surprise that teams of people have joined him in his mission, to reach out with God’s love and offer a hand up to those in need. A Hand Up Group, INC. (AHUG) was formally established in order to expand Mario’s work, in addition spread love in a tangible way to those that so desperately need it.
Our Directors & Mission
All of AHUG’s Board Members are unpaid volunteers, who are passionate about the mission of AHUG. They share the same desire to give “a hand up”, establish relationships; provide necessities, construction materials, guidance and love to those in these impoverished areas.
Building Strong Foundations
Several times per year, teams of people have come together to travel on short term mission trips to impoverished areas nationally and globally. AHUG’s efforts focus on establishing relationships, food distribution, and construction projects. Those that volunteer typically reach out to their friends and family for financial donations to AHUG. All funds go to support the mission trip. Volunteers build relationships, distribute food, household goods, and work on construction projects.
