The organization helps with providing food, shelter, and referrals to legal assistance, child care, employment, financial and medical assistance, housing and transportation, while providing life skills that will help with success in the workforce. This is accomplished through State, Federal, and Local grant monies as well as partnerships with other non-profit organizations and agencies, and with citizens providing tax deductible monetary and material donations; and,
