• Poverty is not inevitable. It is a result of a lack of commitment to build a just society and economy that ensures everyone has what they need. Our vision is a community united to ensure that every child and adult is free from poverty.

Our mission

Our mission is to build a community free from poverty by creating hope, opportunity, and action. We provide essential services, work together to improve our lives, organize for justice, and inspire our community to love, serve, and share.

Report Cards

Our perspective on the performance of Mayor Matt Mahan and the city council on issues that matter to us, and the people we serve and organize.

Every person we work with can be an instrument for change, can fight for change and push for more resources and policies that protect them. I feel really grateful to see that power and that resilience from so many in our community to make that happen.
— Poncho Guevara, Executive Director
