FOUNDATIONS FOR OUR FUTURE
Every man, woman and child has food, warmth and shelter.
Every man, woman and child feels safe and loved.
Every man, woman and child feels a valued member of our community.
Of course we hold higher aspirations than that, however, we know that we are all ‘only as good as our bottom line’.
Our vision is to set the standard as a ‘Foundation for our future’ for every man, woman and child in our community
