Mission: Together we can change the lives of the abused, battered, homeless, hungry, ill and less fortunate.

Results: We want to acquire a permanent site to operate all of our programs. Currently, we are utilizing in-kind office space in several locations. We need your help meeting this challenge. Without the assistance of community-minded Donors, we wouldn't be able to serve those in our community and worldwide each year. We ask that you make a commitment to support our annual appeal by making a donation. This year our goal is $5,625,593, and we hope that you will be able to make a contribution. Our goal will fund all our family services and outreach programs for a year. Your generosity will make a difference by allowing us to continue in our work.

Target demographics: serve all economic backgrounds by eliminating the financial barrier to seeking assistance and this is done through a sliding scale fee that is relative to a family's combined income.
