There's a new non-profit in DeWitt County aimed at giving people a hand up when they need it. 

On the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday, Founder of Baga's House Clay Held told Regional Radio that he started the organization named after his grandmother, who was always there when he needed HER, and he wants to build a welcoming community.

Baga’s House started at home for Held. What started as a conversation with his wife grew into a leap of faith to create opportunities and support for those who need it. 

Held has goals for the non-profit, such as bringing a community center to Clinton and providing job and education resources to those who need them. He says Baga's House focuses on giving support and promoting dignity. 

Baga's House is located at 116 Warner Court in Clinton. To learn more about the new organization, visit bagashouse.org.
