Maybe you are refering to the saying:
Poner tu granito de Arena.
Wich means something like - put a grain of sand.
You use it, when you to do something to help someone or some cause, even if it seems insignificant or not enougth.

Poner su mano en la arena?, hmm, not that I know of. Maybe "poner un granito de arena"

The correct expression is "poner su grano de arena", which means to do your bit, to contribute with your 2 cents (literally, to contribute with a grain of sand).
Conjugations:
Pongo mi grano de arena
tu pones tu grano de arena
ponemos nuestro grano de arena
Pon tu grano de arena (Do your bit)
etc.

It would mean to put your hand in the sand. It might mean that. It kind of makes sense from a working standpoint.
