Our Mission


To empower homeless families and individuals to recover from crisis situations and return to being self-supporting, productive, and independent members of our community.

 

A Three-Dimensional Approach:

Prevention: Feeding the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless a free, wholesome meal once a day year-round. This allows savings on food expenses and allows those who are homeless access to good food.

Crisis Management: Providing shelter for those in crisis who wish to change their homeless lifestyle and become productive citizens.

Empowerment: Providing vocational, educational, nutrition and life skills to help prepare families and individuals to improve their income-producing skills and achieve greater self-sufficiency so they can live independently.
