COMMUNITY SUPPORT

Through reciprocity, we are able to establish relationships that break down barriers and stereotypes, resulting in the changing of mindsets, attitudes and actions, developing a stronger, more united community.

We partner with South Central Community Action Programs (SCCAP) to share a kitchen facility.
