About Us
We are a local non-profit within the Edgewater District in West Salem, OR.
Founded in 2004, we moved into a community filled with hunger, sorrow, gang violence and crime. A community void of hope. We have been a consistent presence in the community for 20 years, and have developed relationships, and trust. It’s through lasting relationships that lives are being changed, the community is being transformed, and the hideous grasp of generational poverty is being broken. Our mission is to equip and empower children and families living in generational poverty to succeed in life through:
Education, Mentorship & Food Security.
