Mission Statement
The goals of the organization are twofold: 1) to provide a stable and nurturing home environment for vulnerable families; and 2) to build customized support programs aimed at building the family’s independence and self-sufficiency. These goals support our mission to help families pick themselves up and sustain their self-sufficiency well beyond their participation in our program.
