Success Stories
Our philosophy is “a Hand Up, not a Handout.” We are unique in what we do. It’s not just about providing a warm meal and a place to sleep. Our goal is to provide people with the tools and surroundings they need to rebuild their lives and become self-sufficient. What sets our nonprofit apart from others is our Continuum of Housing through our Main Shelter, Transitional Housing Program (THP), Mt. Kemble Home, and Affordable Housing.
