lives: bringing healing as a result of professional mental health Counseling Services, comforting
grieving children at Elijah’s Place, helping families during financial hardships and natural
disasters through Home Matters, serving daily hot meals at the Hospitality Center, guiding
newcomers through Immigration Services, and feeding families at the Market to HOPE (Help
Other People Eat) Food Pantry.
