Food pantry: a membership-based program that provides individuals the opportunity to use their skills, talents, gifts, and abilities to provide food for themselves and their families.

Education: through the nine-week financial peace university (fpu), and the twelve-week faith and finance program, the organization provides individuals the opportunity to learn tools that will help them to think beyond their short-term needs and put their financial house in order. There two comprehensive pregrams teach how to get out of debt, budget for expenses, plan for emergencies, and establish a financial future that includes giving to others in need. The two programs are on two different levels of education to accomodate any need. The computer lab program is designed to teach basic computer skills and provide basic computer access for children and adults in the communities. Jobs for life is designedto provide training courses for adults and it incorporates biblical truths and stories to help men and women understand their dignity and god-given identity and gifts, develop character, and foster a supportive community that will equip them for work and life. The advocacy program is designed to pair trained volunteers with participants in peer supportive relationships that both empower and equip participants with the tools they need to create lasting change in their lives.

Thrift store: the store serves families and individuals struggling with chronic food security issues as well as other household needs. All areas of the store are open to the community. The volunteer aspect of the program also creates meaningful employment and training opportunities.
