Harvest Hands: Humphreys Street Coffee & Soap
Over the last 17 years, Harvest Hands has evolved from a modest neighborhood development initiative helping 12 individuals into a thriving after-school development hub. Today, it serves 100 youths daily, offering a range of programs in education, health, spirituality, and economic development.
Facing neighborhood redevelopment, Harvest Hands strategically moved to Napier-Sudekum in 2016. Their facility now houses after-school programs, a gym, a community playground, and Humphreys Street, a social enterprise providing jobs and teaching business skills to teens. Despite the move, they retained their Wedgewood-Houston building, opening Humphreys Street Coffee Shop in 2018 as their first brick-and-mortar store. The initiative not only hires students but also generates revenue for the community.

The Tribute Behind the Name
Kyle’s Place is named in honor of Kyle Milliman, a strong teen leader who cared greatly for others and often was the first to reach out to those struggling.
Kyle was a prominent leader in the Hebron High School “Journey to a Dream group”, now known as the “Dream Initiative.” Kyle encouraged and motivated his peers to abstain from substance abuse and embrace salvation through Christ. Kyle was always one of the first to make his way to comfort impacted students in the audience with his own personal “hug” ministry.
During his senior year at Hebron High School, Kyle struggled with depression and a football injury that sidelined his dream of playing in college. In 2012, Kyle tragically committed suicide. We honor his memory and remind ourselves of the life-saving importance of our mission by naming our residential campus program in his honor.
