We Fight Poverty With Love
Through programs that serve the body, mind and soul, we alleviate the symptoms of poverty, then work to address the root issues that cause it.

overcome poverty through:
Because housing insecurity is strongly linked to prolonged poverty, we work to provide short and long-term housing assistance to displaced families and individuals. In an effort to help maintain each person's health, dignity, and stability, we provide nearly 383,000 nights of safe shelter every year.
One of the hallmarks of poverty is the painful choice between heating and eating. That is, families must decide whether they'll pay their bills or pay for food. They do not have sufficient funds to do both. To combat this impossible position, each year, we serve more than 2.1 million warm, nutritious meals to those in need throughout metro Detroit.
We help struggling families avoid falling into the cycle of crisis by supplementing their income with utility, rent, and other vital payments. Oftentimes, this assistance becomes the difference between shelter and eviction.
As part of our comprehensive approach to helping families climb out of poverty, we equip moms and dads with educational resources, career coaching, and job placement opportunities. By qualifying and directing individuals to achieve stable and gainful employment, we help reduce the need for feeding, shelter, and bill assistance.
The Pathway of Hope is a holistic approach to working with families where caseworkers, instead of providing one time assistance, help people realize their interests and support them in identifying and achieving their goals through a well-defined timeline.
46.7 million Americans live below the poverty line. 60 million more live one crisis away.
Sadly, children raised in poverty are 32% more likely to remain there than their more fortunate peers.
We are active in every zip code in America to feed, shelter, assist and equip the poor.
Poverty is often the result of, and catalyst for, chronic struggles with hunger, addiction, housing insecurity, mental illness, unemployment, educational voids, and various forms of abuse. These interconnected issues continue year after year and generation after generation. That's why we work to meet the needs of the whole person through short and long-term assistance. Through programs that serve the body, mind and soul, we alleviate the symptoms of poverty, then work to address the root issues that cause it. This holistic approach helps create sustainable change in millions of lives, every single day.
