Through relationships and resources we help our neighbors build strong finances, careers, and homes.
Who we are
A nonprofit organization based in Columbia, Missouri, dedicated to supporting individuals and families facing poverty and hardship by connecting them with essential resources and compassionate community support.
20% of our Columbia neighbors live in poverty, and many struggle to make ends meet, find livable wage jobs, or safe, affordable housing.
Many lack the positive, supportive relationships that are needed to flourish.
When people in need contact us, we listen without judgment and partner with them to improve their lives.
