We began in 1982 with programs designed to provide assistance
to children and families and build relationships in the community. Through
these activities we "reach out" in Christ's love into the community to meet the
most basic needs and establish trust with children and families. This
reaching out includes emergency / crisis services, community services, and youth
programs.
- Basic food and clothing assistance
- Youth Programs: We offer year-round outreach activities for
children and youth -- Kids Life for children K-7, a
High School group for grades
8-12, and several different age-appropriate
summer camp
programs. These
programs now reach over 700 children and youth each week during the school year.
- Medical and dental services (through a separate on-site
non-profit agency)
- Weekly bi-lingual community worship services (The Church
at The
Neighborhood Center)
- Community gatherings and events (Christmas Fiesta Celebration,
Back-to-School Shoe Day, Parents' Stores, Quinceaneras, weddings, funerals,
birthdays, etc.
