We spun off from Catholic Social Services in 1999 and we are a community based charity supported by donations, grants and Forsyth County United Way. We provide residents with food, clothing, and financial assistance (to legitimate vendors) if documented, justified, within our means, and it will resolve the crisis. Our mission prevents hunger, deprivation and homelessness. We do not receive any funds from the government and depend on our supporters to provide the resources to help our neighbors. Our mission is "to compassionately listen to those deprived of basic needs and, together with them, find creative ways to alleviate suffering."
