Why do we exist?

We exist to change the lives of people in our community – specifically, providing essential services and compassionate care to the marginalized and most vulnerable among us. Our mission is to serve and advocate for the poor, the sick, the distressed, children, families, immigrants and seniors, regardless of their faith.
