Mission
To offer God’s help, hope and healing to the most impoverished members of our community.
Vision
That every homeless person in Pierce County has access to a complete and permanent pathway out of poverty as they pursue God’s plan for their lives.
Purpose
We help all people; including clients, volunteers, donors and staff, to become their best. We provide emergency services such as shelter and food to the homeless or hurting; offer self-sufficiency programs to help lift a person from poverty and break the chains of addiction; support prevention programs and share our Christian faith.
Values
Calling
We believe that God loves and cares for every single person, and is not willing to write off anyone. God has made us all in His image with irreducibly divine value, dignity and purpose. We grow deeper in this truth as we answer God’s call to courageously offer our homeless neighbors HIS help, hope and healing.
Courage
God’s calling us into a twilight landscape of wreckage and dysfunction, in which the pathway forward is lit only by a belief in His ability to raise the dead. It takes courage to choose faith, hope and love in the face of brokenness.
Culture
God’s plan for healthy people is actuated through healthy, loving relationships which are the reason for, the vehicle of and the reward of change. Our relational culture is the gift we offer to our clients.
Quality
Because we recognize the divine image of God in every individual, we strive toward the highest levels of quality. In all of our programs and services, we seek to uphold the God-given dignity of our clients, and to measure our efficiency and effectiveness in bringing about positive, lasting change in individuals and our community as a whole.
