About Us

This ministry began in 2003 in response to the increasing number of calls local churches were receiving from people seeking help. By pooling resources, we are able to do far more together than alone. 

We are dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty in Licking County that binds individuals to a recurring sequence of crisis. It is our vision that the community would be a much better place if everyone enjoyed stable living conditions, a sense of self-worth, and an appreciation of God’s loving care.

The requests keep increasing but God has been faithful in providing the assistance needed to meet these needs, and each individual seeking help is treated with dignity during the intake process.
