Mission Statement
Pilgrim Rest Foundation, Inc. (PRF) endeavors to be like a city that sits on a hill; a beacon of hope for all. To achieve its vision, PRF commits to provide services that meet the whole need of men, women, and families. In carrying out this mission, PRF staff will treat people with love and appreciation with a level of sensitivity that will encourage humility. The purpose of this mission is to maximize the potential of every individual with whom the PRF staff interacts and serves. PRF is a relational organization where caring for others is a primary concern as well as the health and well-being of the people in our community. We don’t just provide fish to eat, we want to teach people how to become fishermen!
