Mission
Our mission is to provide support services, resources and most of all love, care, hope and inspiration to underserved communities. We do this through fostering young men from 16 and over, host back to school events, feed the homeless and provide them with warming gear and mentor youth.
Program accomplishments
- We foster young adult males that have aged out of the regular foster care that are from 17 and older. In 2025 we fostered 6 youth, some of whom had aged out of the foster care system, who lived in the home, finished school, worked and paid rent and their basic needs. We provided some of their food (for the home), outings for their entertainment, transportation to work and other places.Expenses $20,731
- We had to do ongoing renovations and maintenance on the house because of the state that it was in when we obtained it. We also purchased adjoining vacant lots and created/added to the community garden that we started, planting vegetables and flowering plants.Expenses $17,415 · grants $18,557
