Our Values
People
We believe that all people should be treated with dignity and compassion and be given equal opportunity to make the most of their lives. We believe that volunteers are our greatest strength. Only with the help of volunteers, other service providers, government agencies, businesses, and all those who care can we accomplish our mission.
Integrity
We strive to be true to our values in everything that we do so that what we live by will be as evident in our actions as it is in our words.
Community
We believe that life on earth is a community, and it is our desire that all who come here will find a place of acceptance. We welcome all who are in need, regardless of who they are or what circumstances brought them to us. In the community of life, we are only as strong as the weakest among us, and, therefore, we believe that what we do for one benefits us all and builds a stronger community.
Excellence
We believe that a ministry to people in need demands our very best. Our work is an expression of love and a manifestation of our faith. In striving for excellence, we honor the trust that has been given to us to act on behalf of the many who give us their money, their time, and their hearts.
Hope
We believe that the most important thing we can do for the homeless is to offer hope, and the face of hope is a person who believes in them. From the ability to envision a different future comes the desire to make changes and the energy to do the work that change requires. We believe that, in the struggle that is life, we are here to help one another, and to offer an alternative to despair is our highest calling. In times of tribulation, we offer a quiet faith and a candle to light the darkness.
