Mission
We provide community enhancement through support of children and families. We focus on getting young people involved in organized activities believing they learn life skills that lead to better decision making. Towards that end we pay registration fees purchase equipment clothing footwear. We also realize there needs to be a stable home environment for them to thrive so we provide rent and utility assistance. We also buy groceries and other household needs and have recently even begun to help people get health insurance.
