OUR START
We started out going to the inner city of Columbia, SC then to the shelters to help the homeless. In the beginning, our mission was simply to show them that we care. It grew to job services to help them find work.
Our Plan
|
Prolonged unemployment leads to personal crisis, family issues, housing loss, and much more. A person does not become homeless overnight. It's a process that starts from a downward spiral of events and it doesn’t just affect the person. It causes broken families and is detrimental to communities because it hurts the economy.
Stable and sufficient income is necessary to regain self-reliance. In some cases, there are other services that are needed before a person is ready to regain employment. Counseling, financial literacy, and other services may be necessary to help a person restore their financial livelihood and personal well-being so that homelessness is no longer a threat. In many cases, once a person becomes homeless it is extremely hard to get back to healthy living. |
Our plan is to provide a program that encompasses the following components:
Ministry - sharing hope through the Christian faith Character Building & Life Skills - equips the participant with everyday skills to enhance their life and build character Training & Education - provides the participant with the skills to get ready for the workforce Workforce Readiness - prepares the participant for employment and assists with finding a job Graduation - culminates the program with a celebration, support coach, and assistance with transportation to jobs Referrals for additional assistance outside of our scope |
