| What is the mission of your organization? |
Our vision is a partnership with Camp Washington (our neighborhood) to create a community that is safe and clean where people have enough food, decent housing, opportunities for education and work, and live in an environment that nurtures all families. We accomplish this through our various outreach ministries. |

| Our various programs fulfill needs in a variety of areas. All of our programs serve people living in poverty, including the homeless. The majority of people we serve live in our own neighborhood of Camp Washington and nearby neighborhoods.- A free “store” where people can come get groceries, clothes, and household appliances. – Community lunch every day Monday-Thursday where people come in and receive a hot meal. About 1000 meals are given out each month. -Homework club is our after-school tutoring program Monday-Wednesday during the school year where each child receives a meal and is paired with a volunteer tutor to help them with their homework and other academic enrichment -Summer Program is a 6 week program during the summer where elementary school students participate in outdoor recreation, arts and crafts, hear from educational guest speakers, and go on a weekly field trip. Each child also receives breakfast and lunch. -We also have several seasonal programs. For example, we give out Thanksgiving meals including a turkey (89 this year). And our Christmas program provides over 300 kids with toys and clothes. Through these programs, especially our children’s programs, we have created a meaningful community of volunteers and the people we serve. |

All of our programs rely on volunteers, however most of them occur during the school day. But students are welcome to come on days off and summer break. Community lunch volunteering is from 9:30-12:30 Monday-Thursday. Please reach out and we can find an opportunity for you! |
