Helping Hands To Haiti (HHH), is the vision of The Bridge, Southwest Community Christian Center of Houston, Texas. Thorough the leadership of its, Pastor, Dr. Gregg J. Patrick, the church has begun a monumental effort to get humanitarian aid directly to the hands of the Haitian people; where it is so desperately needed.
The 20 year old church, has established and supported many charitable events over the years, and distributing over 98% of the funds directly to the agencies involved.
During the Hurricane Katrina disaster, Pastor Patrick and The Bridge were one of the first (and only) churches that consistently came to the aid of the displaced Americans who had to flee to The Astrodome in Houston. Pastor Patrick worked tirelessly with the Red Cross and other agencies to help and insure physical comfort and spiritual aid to thousands that were there; many of whom have remained in Houston, as members of the church.
Pastor Patrick, a major gospel artist, had a top-ten CD “Crossover” in 2009 (Billboard). Through his gospel industry contacts, HHH will produce a major gospel concert to support these efforts.
