Conference and Event Speaker

As I continue my journey through college, my mission remains clear: To glorify God in everything I do. Whether I’m speaking from a stage, serving vulnerable children, or connecting one-on-one, I want to be the hands and feet of Jesus in a world that needs hope.

About Me

How it Started

TRANSFORMING LIVES THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

Hi! I’m Hannah Karanick — a 20-year-old college student, speaker, and founder of Hannah’s Helpful Hands. I’m currently studying Business Administration with a minor in Biblical Studies at Biola University, where I’m continuing to grow in faith, leadership, and purpose.

“What can I do right now to help more kids feel seen, supported, and loved?”

From that question, Hannah’s Helpful Hands was born — a nonprofit initiative that provides basic necessities to students in underserved elementary schools. It began with one supply closet at my old school, filled with items like hygiene kits, clean clothes, handmade quilts, gift cards for new shoes, and backpacks. Staff discreetly distribute these items to students, preserving their dignity while meeting practical needs.

Since launching in 2019, the program has expanded to twelve schools, and continues to grow. I track what’s needed through simple sign-out sheets — no names required — allowing us to respond effectively and ensure hundreds of kids have already been helped.
