Lifebridge’s mission is to end the crisis of homelessness. Research shows that two factors are responsible for the problem of homelessness: a lack of affordable housing and the persistence of poverty in the community. They believe that the way to solve this crisis, one person at a time, is to provide housing with supportive services, to encourage personal and income development, and stability in physical and mental health. To achieve their ambitious goals, they deliver a suite of essential services on their Seeds of Hope Campus.

The mission of The Open Door, the parent organization to Second Glance, is to alleviate the impact of hunger in the community. They use practical strategies to connect people to good food, to advocate on behalf of those in need, and to engage others in the work of building food security.
