Powered by Community
Our goal is to come alongside those in need (primarily those living at or below 200% of the federal poverty line) and provide comprehensive, trauma-informed, strength-focused care that addresses barriers to access and provides lasting opportunities for change and wellbeing.
Our desire is to be a place where everyone is welcome and treated with dignity, while needs are addressed and individuals are valued and celebrated. We do this work by partnering with over eighty agencies, businesses, institutions and faith communities, and engaging nearly three hundred volunteers per year.
