The Seeds of Hope 12-month program was designed to assist a low-income, at-risk, or a family unit in distress. The goal of this program was designed to identify the areas of need while also helping family units cultivate the necessary skills that the family needs to become self-sufficient and sustaining in the community. Examples of targeted areas include securing stable employment, counseling, financial literacy, budgeting, chaplaincy services, and the like; thus, assisting the family to become a thriving family unit in their respective community.
