OUR VISION
To make Kingdom impact by meeting the physical needs of our neighbors so we have the opportunity to meet their spiritual needs by sharing the Good News and Love of Jesus. We want to love our neighbors so well that we will be missed if we were no longer here to serve.
ACTION STEPS
We will accomplish our mission by providing wellness, educational, and life opportunities to our neighbors who otherwise do not have access to means such as healthcare benefits, counseling, and access to personal hygiene care for those who are shelter insecure, while making a generational impact.
