Providing support and compassion
We offer services that help people return to a life of self-sufficiency.
“The Hand Up – Not Hand Out” principle guides us as we help to “Clothe the Naked, Feed the Hungry, and Shelter the Homeless”
Feed
Feeding those who need a basic meal provides them with a sense of hope and helps them get back on their feet.
