Meet our Heroes
Every day, we are inspired by the men, women, and children we serve - who exhibit strength and resilience as they face challenges related to addiction, mental and physical health, poverty, and homelessness.

We follow the words of our founder Msgr. Vincent Puma: "When you take somebody's hand, you cannot let it go until they can stand on their own two feet." We extend our hand to all who are in need, and they in turn extend their hands to help others along the path to wellness and stability.

 We also recognize that each person's journey is different - and a journey can begin with something as simple as a meal.
