We are a small but mighty collective of queers.

Queer Hands is a 501(c)3 non-profit and collective that exists to uplift marginalized communities and contribute to collective liberation. We strive to provide accessible handy services and other forms of support to those in Atlanta and beyond.

Mission Statement: Queer Hands is your trusted source for all kinds of handy work and odd jobs, tailored to meet the needs of our local queer community. Whether it's repairs, maintenance, lawn care, moving assistance, junk removal, cleaning, organizing, pet care, or even child care—you can count on us to help with it all!

As a queer-powered trans-led worker cooperative, we're passionate about fostering safe, inclusive, and affirming spaces for everyone. Every job we take on is done with care, love, and a deep sense of community. We're not just here to get the job done—we're here to build connections and offer support to those who need it most.

Serving Atlanta and the surrounding areas (the stolen colonized land of Muscogee (Creek) and Cherokee peoples), Queer Hands is proud to offer high-quality, queer-centered services that make a difference. If you're looking for reliable, compassionate help with a personal touch, we’d love to lend you a hand!

Let’s build a network of trusted, queer-centered services that empower the community and foster connections, inclusion, and mutual support.
