We help individuals and families become productive citizens in the communities in which they live. Our services are open to the most vulnerable, the disenfranchised, the homeless, low-income persons, the underemployed, and those greatest in need.  We provide program services that educate and embrace the whole human being.  We do not discriminate based on a person’s race, ethnicity, creed, or physical limitations.
