In times like this its glad to see that Lend a Hand is going coast to coast to help people. What keeps Al Roker going? What's in his coffee? He is always in a great mood, he needs to share his secret.

After attending Bible study last night, I have learned that it is always better to give than receive. It has always been a joy for me to see those on the receiving end. Often times I wish I was the giver. During these trying times, wherein we all appear to be in an economic crunch, we fail to remember that God is the actual source of all our needs.

I was touched by this story. I myself volunteer for Meals on Wheels in Sarasota Florida on Saturday mornings. I have been looking to volunteer more but am having a hard time finding a place to do this. I have a Monday thru Friday job and volunteer on Saturdays, Was hoping to find an orginization at nights or possibly a few times a year for a week or two? Is there anything that you are aware of?

Hi Al,
I have been watching Lend a Hand since it's beginning. The group you sponsored in California on June 22, 2009 is wonderful and deserving.
I work with underpriviledged youth and their families in Rural Appalachia, Meigs County Ohio. Is there a process where groups and apply? I would love to add the Mulberry Community Center on the list because of all the good works it does for Meigs County residence.
Keep up the great work?

Wow, Mr. Roper this sounds like a dream come true for some. I love the title Lend a Hand, because there is truly a great need for this around the world. Please tell me how my non profit organization could receive any help. We are now at risk of losing everything we can't afford to pay the mortgages and bills. We need help.

I am thrilled Al will be visiting Galveston, Texas. This will help the community tremendously, while still recovering from Hurricane Ike. Although it has been close to a year, people outside of the community don't realize the challenges faced everyday with the recovery efforts. Thanks and kudos to everyone that makes this happen!

I know of an organization that has been working many years on a project and could use a helping hand. With our local timber based economy hurting and the local sawmill closing it's not a pretty financial picture for these grass roots organizations. How do I get this event in touch with them to see if they qualify?

I have seen Al and his "Lend a Hand" project for the past several years and I think it is absolutely wonderful. I work for "The Hope Center" in Lexington, KY, a nonprofit charity. I was wandering if you could send me information on how you pick your organizations. I would like to get an application for our organization. Thank you
