Mission: We serve and empower individuals, families, and communities. We responded to 350,000 comprehensive human service requests for assistance each year in the following service areas: basic needs, community information & referral, developmental disability, dispute resolution, emergency mental health, family and children, senior & vet housing, and senior companionship.
Programs: Encouraging positive development - high quality, innovative services for disadvantaged and disconnected youth. We empower older youth to be physically, emotionally, and mentally healthy. We provide a continuum of care and support for young people though prevention, early intervention, and long-term services.
fostering independence - we foster the health and independence of seniors and people with developmental disabilities and those vulnerable to becoming isolated within our communities. We recognize the importance of reaching out to and connecting with these individuals and offer programs that include housing, companionship, and recreation.
promoting self-sufficiency - we promote self-sufficiency for individuals and families who have experienced hunger, homelessness, or other personal crisis. We work with people using a strengths-based, solution-focused approach, offering a continuum of services from prevention to intervention to empowerment.
