We share our gifts with all those who come to our door, regardless of race, creed, religion or ability to pay, and our work touches the minds, bodies, and spirits of those we serve.  However, it is only through the support and generosity of others that we are able to provide the necessary levels of service to:

• Strengthen families
• Protect children
• Form new families
• Keep older adults safe, secure and comfortable
• Provide food, shelter and clothing
• Welcome refugees from other countries and help them settle into a new community
• Counsel people with personal and emotional problems or troubled relationships
• Help people find employment so that they may become self-reliant
• Aid in disaster recovery
• Help the homeless

Your generosity makes great things possible!  Please consider a donation of Money, In-Kind Gifts, Time, Prayer or Wish List items today.
