Founding & Emergency Relief Launch
Neighbors organized first emergency counseling calls and pantry drops across Bronx blocks while formal incorporation and IRS recognition work began.
Origin & History
A charity that started where the need already lived
Immaculate Charity Hands of God Inc grew out of late-night phone calls in Bronx apartments—parents asking where to find diapers before Monday, elders unsure how to stretch a Social Security check through a cold snap, teens who needed a quiet adult after school. What began as informal mutual aid became a registered public charity so the same neighbors could receive help with clear books, clear doors, and clear accountability.
The Internal Revenue Service recognized our exemption under IRC Section 501(c)(3) effective November 9, 2021, classifying us as a public charity under Section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi). Donors may deduct contributions under IRC Section 170. Our accounting period ends December 31, and we file the annual information return or e-Postcard required of small public charities.
Today the work spans a 24/7 crisis helpline, emergency food and shelter bridge aid, mental wellness referrals, and educational support for children and families navigating hardship—still centered on Bronx, NY, still answering the phone like it matters.
