How We Help Overcome Poverty

We come alongside individuals and families who are suffering from the effects of poverty. In addition to offering compassion and support, our programs provide short-term assistance to help during a difficult season as well as long-term solutions to alleviate the root causes of poverty. 

Social Services  

• Social Services program strengths:  We provide prescription assistance, gas vouchers and other forms of help to those who qualify.

Food Programs

• Food Programs strengths:  Hunger and food insecurity go hand-in-hand with poverty. We offer several short-term solutions to help people make ends meet when times are tough, including a daily community lunch program, food distribution with Feeding America, a food pantry and a free Thanksgiving dinner to anyone in need.
