Our mission is to provide our local and global community with opportunities and resources to compassionately support, empower, and transform disadvantaged families and individuals in meeting their basic needs.

Compassionately support, empower, and transform means that we will serve those in need with respect and dignity, while encouraging change, growth, and educational opportunities to become self-sufficient and self-supporting. Our vision is a world where families and individuals have the resources available to independently meet their basic needs.

Our goals:

• Formally establishing a charitable, nonprofit organization that actively serves our mission.
• Attracting responsible volunteers and contributors to support programmatic and operational needs.
• Providing disadvantaged families and individuals with nutritious meals, safe and affordable housing, and other assistance with basic needs.

The objectives of this third goal include:

• Providing (packaging and shipping) pre-packaged meals to communities in need. PACKAGE AND SHIP FOOD GLOBALLY.
• Provide families/individuals with new or renovated homes at low or no cost. BUILD AND REPAIR HOMES.
• Outreach projects that assist disadvantaged persons in meeting basic needs. DIRECTLY FEED HOT MEALS TO PEOPLE IN NEED.
