Description

The mission of the Food & Care Coalition is to alleviate hunger and diminish the plights of poverty for those who enter our doors.

They primary objectives include finding suitable housing, teaching financial accountability, facilitating an elevation in personal morals and values, and helping each patron achieve their full potential.

They believe in the inherent worth of people and embrace the philosophy that trusting relationships between patron, staff, and volunteer are vital in realizing this end.
