Dignity is the Heart of our Mission.
Dignity is a common theme within Catholic Social Teachings, our mission and our daily work. We see the dignity of each person that comes to us. We first work to stabilize them with emergency assistance and food. Next, we provide wrap-around programs and services to give families hope for their future. This pathway out of poverty helps them regain the dignity of self-reliance.
Your financial support allows us to be here when clients need us. Any donation of any size is put to good use, and stewarded to reach the most people in need. Thank you!
