At the Outreach Center we meet people
struggling to regain their dignity everyday.
Their struggles are real, their needs are pressing
and their hope is limited.
They feel despair, apathy and a lack of hope.
They need you and me and us.
They need the Outreach Center.
Our Mission is helping to give people back their
God-given dignity by transforming lives to
reach their highest potential.
Restoring a shattered life takes time.
By parternering with us you can help transform lives
one at a time, day by day, piece by piece.
