Mission:
To ensure no child, adult, or senior in our community goes without basic essentials that many of us take for granted.
Vision:
– Long-term vision: A community where everyone’s basic needs are met.
– Short-term action: Filling urgent gaps by providing clothing and essential items to individuals and families in need.
– Awareness: Raising understanding about the challenges faced by vulnerable populations and the importance of community support.
For many families, something as small as a toothbrush or a warm winter coat can make all the difference.
Items as simple as a toothbrush and toothpaste are a blessing for some families.
