Our Purpose:

Provide for the Soul through Bible study and counseling when sought out; Provide for the Body by clothing, feeding, and access to personal hygiene and dental care; Provide for the Home with utility assistance and furnishings.

Our Mission:

To provide spiritual and physical help and hope to those in need, with the encouraging and loving heart of Christ and without judgment or cynicism.

Our Vision:

We aim to glorify God through our daily interactions with those who come through our doors with any and every need. We seek to share the gospel through our daily lunch and Bible study; offer financial support, emergency shelter, household goods and food assistance for those in crisis; and provide material and educational support for those seeking employment. As needed, we will accomplish our goals through strong partnerships with area churches and other Union County ministries and organizations.
