Hands Without Guns

About the Hands Without Guns Program: A children’s activity

Hands Without Guns is a gun-safety and painting activity for elementary and middle school children. This fun and non-threatening activity is suitable for community events, school fairs, and church bazaars. Children make a simple pledge to never touch a gun and to report rumors of guns in school to an adult, then paint their hands and make a colorful handprint on a large cloth banner, signing their name and age underneath.

To help take this message of nonviolence home, the children receive a Hands Without Guns coloring book and some Lifesaver candy. Adults accompanying the children are welcome to pick up gun safety brochures and free gun safety locks (supply permitting). If you live in the Winston-Salem, NC, area and would like to help at an upcoming Hands Without Guns event, please contact us.
