Better Community Housing of Trenton - http://bchtrenton.org

The mission of Better Community Housing of Trenton is to create safe, quality housing in Trenton that low-income people can afford to buy or rent, and to support community action and development in at-risk urban neighborhoods.

  • To create safe, quality housing in the Wilbur and East Trenton sections of Trenton that poor people can truly afford to buy or rent – that is, at substantially lower prices than "low-income" homes provided by other groups.
  • To serve the local residents and to avoid the displacement that occurs to poor people as a result of gentrification.
  • To end the mindset and realty of multi-generational poverty by empowering residents to gain control of their lives and community and to develop a stable family life, leading to improved educational performance for children and job performance for adults.

The Deepwell Project - www.deepwellproject.org

The Deep Well Project was founded in 1973, digging wells to provide clean, safe water for the Hilton Head Island community.  Since then, it has been the source of emergency assistance to the local community and is supported by individuals, businesses, religious institutions, foundations, clubs, schools and various other organizations. The Deep Well Project both serves and reflects the caring community in which we live.

Homefront - www.homefrontnj.org

HomeFront’s mission is to end homelessness in Central New Jersey by harnessing the caring, resources and expertise of the community. We lessen the immediate pain of homelessness and help families become self-sufficient. We work to give our clients the skills and opportunities to ensure adequate incomes, and we work to increase the availability of adequate, affordable housing. We help homeless families advocate for themselves individually and collectively.

No Hungry Children - https://nohungrychildren.org

No Hungry Children’s mission is to impact the lives of Children for the glory of God by sharing the love of Jesus Christ through feeding them physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. With nourishment of the Mind, Body, Soul and Spirit comes a brighter hope for the future, as the life expectancy of these children will rise with a regular diet. Our hope is that these children will have greater opportunity to exit the slums with a well-rounded primary education.

Most importantly, our aim is to present the Good News of Jesus to these children. And our expectation is that in His hands, they find the greatest hope and satisfaction. What can you get for a $1 contribution? 2 meals a day, 5 days a week, for 1 child in Nairobi, Kenya.
