Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Home Improvement & Repairs, Homeless & Housing

Mission: impactRichmond was established in 2005 and has a double mission. We want to take Christ to the Richmond, Virginia community by providing a service of home repair for the elderly and less fortunate. We do this by working closely with Senior Connections, the Capital Area Agency on Aging, to find homeowners whose homes need repair but are on a fixed budget. We also want to provide a place where youth can experience meaningful worship by being the hands of Christ. We provide all of the tools that the students will need to complete their home improvement job, as well as a place for them to stay, and programmed evening activities.

As a former staff member, I was disappointed in how the staff treated new members behind the scenes. If you weren’t a part of the inner circle (attended the church), they didn’t allow you to come back nor did they want you to come back. I had a great time with the kids and the pastors and the homeowners and the volunteers. But as for the staff and people in charge, they need to do better. They judged me before they really got to know me as well as gossiped about former members before me. Any true Christian knows that the only judgment that matters at the end of the day is the Lord’s, but it still hurt to feel the judgment of the staff around me. My time there was one of the crucial reasons why my relationship with God at the moment has lessened over the past few years. Because of this I will never be a part of this organization again, but I hope in the future, the staff and the people in charge do better with accepting one other and pushing God’s agenda in the best way possible.
