Helping Hands

We are a dedicated group of business, church, and community leaders from the Carolinas who share a passion for empowering neighbors to help neighbors. Regeneration Next was founded with a mission to provide direct support to those in need while ensuring donors can trust that every dollar goes to making a difference—not to covering large overhead costs. Together, we’re building stronger, more compassionate communities.
