Why We Do It

We do it because we care. We don’t do this for the income. We do it for the outcome. We do this because we believe one person can have a huge impact on a community. Our team is filled with passionate and knowledgeable advocates. We are here for those who do not have a voice or know where to go for help in times of crisis. We are here to serve. We treat all individuals like family to give them the care and support they need. Our loved ones and community members provided for us all their lives, it’s our chance to take care of them in their time of need.

Take a couple of minutes to watch as our staff share why their jobs are not just jobs.
