Give a Hand

To give someone a hand means to help someone do something, especially something that involves physical effort.

Example: Could you give me a hand with these boxes? Let me know when you're moving and I'll give you a hand.

Similar idiom: 'Lend a hand' - Jane is always willing to lend a hand with refreshments.
