It is our goal to, through prayer, to cull applications until we find the first 3-4 senior led families to assist, through every one of the programs listed in this book. As funds and volunteers become available, we will increase the number of families served. However, by meeting the needs of 3 families, we can change that family and greatly impact that community.
