About Us

A Brief History

In 2015, God spoke to Rev. Dr. Charles Mantey to set up a community program that will cater to the needs of those who’re are hurting in our world. As a result, Hands of Love Community is to help and support people with addiction, mental health issues, school drop outs and homelessness related problems.

With a capital funding from the Canadian government through the Initiative to improve Black-led organization program, we were able to launch the program on June 28th 2022.

Spirituality

Hands of Love Community is rooted in Christian tradition. However, we’ve created an atmosphere of allowing people of other faiths to be part. This helps us to discover our spiritual identity together.

Our Faith & Values

Unconditional Love: We meet people right where they are with grace, empathy, and zero judgment.
Faith in Action: We believe that true, lasting change is possible through spiritual renewal, prayer, and the transforming power of God.
Dignity & Respect: Every individual is created in the image of God and deserves to be treated with honor, confidentiality, and deep respect.
Community Connection: Healing happens best in a supportive community where individuals can build trust, accountability, and meaningful relationships.
