About The Helping Hippies
A community-driven organization built on compassion, kindness, and the belief that together we can do extraordinary things.
We believe living well means knowing your dignity, growth, and wellbeing are inseparable from the dignity, growth, and wellbeing of your community. Kindness, generosity, and justice toward others are part of living your full potential, and a real sense of belonging is essential. That’s what we help create.
When one person feels chosen instead of passed by, when one family’s cupboards go from empty to full, when one person experiencing homelessness receives the support needed to become stable, the world shifts one life at a time. That’s our goal — one life truly changed at a time.
As those moments ripple from one person who is now helped and wants to help another, thousands of lives helped then become millions. When these moments are woven together by heart-led individuals planting a positive impact everywhere, the world becomes kinder, safer, and more genuinely connected for everyone.
The Helping Hippies was founded by Sacha Gendron as an expression of love for our community, made possible through incredible partnerships and the support of our Board of Directors.

My personal mission is to make our world a better place by catalyzing positive change through heart-led initiatives. To help promote emotional wellness, provide support to those in need, and encourage compassion and self-care. To provide opportunities for meaningful connection, self-expression, and healing. To share the wisdom gained from my personal journey of resilience, strength, and hope to comfort and support those who need it most. To leave the world brighter than I found it.
