Overview

Mission

Our mission is to investigate and then raise public awareness about the many problems that are facing families and individuals that are at risk of slipping into poverty or that are living in poverty, and then to mobilize financial resources, products and volunteers to solve those problems and stabilize those households.

What it reported doing in 2024

Signature events: our annual signature events have greatly expanded direct access to fresh produce, food boxes, cases of water, barber services, and other essential resources for individuals and families in need. At our christmas event, guests receive toys that brighten the holidays; our mommy & me event provides baby items and support for new mothers; and our back-to-school jamboree equips students with bookbags and school supplies to help them start the year prepared. All goods and services at these events are provided free of charge, reflecting our commitment to reducing financial barriers and uplifting our community.
