Sydnie Anderson
President & Founder
The idea for Helping Hands OV began in late 2019, when Sydnie—then a single mom—struggled to find the time and money to take care of simple household tasks like mowing her lawn. One day, a kind neighbor unexpectedly stepped in to help, and that small act of generosity sparked the vision for what would grow into Helping Hands OV: a community built on neighbors helping neighbors.
​
Sydnie holds a B.A. in Public Relations from Sacramento State and has a professional background in PR and marketing. Her passion for service started early—she’s been a volunteer with the American Diabetes Association since the age of three.
​
Outside of her work with Helping Hands OV, Sydnie is a proud boy mom, a dog mom to two pups, and an active member of her community who enjoys local events and finding ways to lend a hand. Her dedication to lifting others up continues to be the heart of Helping Hands OV.
Bradley Miller
Treasurer
Bradley has been with Helping Hands OV since its early days. He brings his background in accounting, experience serving on other non-profit boards, and passion for serving his community to ensure Helping Hands OV has fiscal support, while providing hands-on service.
He received a B.S. In Business Administration: Accountancy Option from CSU, Fresno. He also serves on the non-profit boards of the Kiwanis Family House and the Kiwanis Clubs of Orangevale-Fair Oaks and Citrus Heights, providing Helping Hands OV with more opportunities to work together in serving our community.
