We provide a sense of hope, support, dignity, and community to some of the most vulnerable people in our city. Our clients are low-income/working poor families with kids, low-income widows, veterans and elderly, low-income physically or mentally disabled on disability, and homeless. All of our meals, groceries, clothing, and funds are donated by people in the local churches, businesses, and community.
You can help support the work we are doing in a number of ways including financial donations, donating goods and volunteering.
