Community Leadership Awards


The HANDS Community Leadership Awards Event annually recognizes exceptional individuals and groups who dedicate themselves to improving the lives of those around them and the communities Orange and East Orange, New Jersey. Typically held in early November, this is always a special event for HANDS. The individuals who are honored are typically those “unsung heroes” who don’t already have plaques and certificates hanging on their walls. Their family, friends and neighbors attend to share in recognizing them. Ticket prices are kept low, just covering costs. Following a short formal program, there is time for dining, mingling and celebrating our honorees. Please nominate a worthy leader, become an event sponsor and attend the feel-good event of the year.
