Mission

To promote equity and support, we provide multi-generational comprehensive programs for under-served, overlooked, low to moderate-income families, youth, and Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC), by offering unique and inclusive trainings, food assistance, and family-oriented programs in a workshop format. Additionally, a focus on mentoring/coaching and special events to address critical community issues involving our youth that gets to the root cause of the challenges youth face including school dropout, lack of youth mentoring, gang violence, unemployment, financial education, health and wellness, self-improvement, and positive youth development. 

Featured Programs
​

Food Distribution Program
Because of our partnership with the Worcester County Food Bank, we give people the dignity of picking out their own food instead of being handed a box of food. This past fiscal year we distributed over 476,000 meals and have given out over 216 tons of food.​

Food is distributed every Friday from 2pm to 5pm at 55 Illinois Street, Worcester, MA 01610
