About Us

Through comprehensive crisis support, anti-poverty services, and partner referral we help people to help themselves make meaningful change in their lives and journey out of poverty. Knowing that effective advocacy and change are developed within the community our mission, “Building Community to End Poverty,” is a collaborative effort with our community to change attitudes and mindsets about poverty, to change the systems that affect people in poverty, and to engage all community members in creating a community that provides opportunities for everyone.
