OUR Mission since 2003

has been:

 

"Giving food, hope, dignity, housing, and a pathway

out of poverty through employment"

GIFTS FOR TEENS CAMPAIGN

​

Our newest holiday focus is on providing Christmas gifts for teens ages 13-19, since most programs that target needy children at Christmas, stop at age 12 years old leaving older siblings with little or nothing.

​

Teens identified through our internal food program, schools and social service programs receive an invitation to attend a party and shop in a free Holiday Bazaar to select gifts for themselves and the entire family plus decorations, furniture, clothing and household goods.  Teens must be accompanied by a parent who shops for the teen.  Then gifts are

pre-wrapped and sent home with the parent to include in the families holiday celebration.
