OuR Areas of Focus

Engaging Faith-Based Communities

Faith-based organizations have been and continue to be anchors within our communities. This has resulted in these organizations being seen as a valuable resource in addressing multiple needs for neighborhood residents. From church-led emergency food pantries to affordable housing, there has always been a valuable partnership between the community and the charitable work of faith-based organizations.

Access to Healthy Foods

For far too many people, especially for those living in low-income communities and communities of color, access to healthy food is quite difficult. Finding quality, fresh food means either traveling significant distances or paying extremely high prices. These burdens are resulting in these very communities facing the highest risks of obesity, diabetes, and other preventable food-related health challenges.

Root Causes of Trauma & Violence

While most people experience daily stress in their lives, traumatic stress impacts the way that people interact and cope within their families and communities.
