Who we serve:

Seniors 70 years of age and over, as well as individuals (any age) facing critical, life altering illnesses.

Vision Statement:

The Essential Needs Project envisions a community where no elderly individual or person facing critical illness goes without the necessities required for health, dignity, and daily living. Guided by our faith and call to serve others, we seek a future in which compassionate support surrounds individuals during life’s most challenging seasons.

Core Values:

Christ-centered service-We believe Christ calls us to love our neighbors.

Dignity-We acknowledge the worth of every person, providing assistance that preserves privacy and independence.

Compassion-We seek to lead with mercy and offer support to those facing aging and/or critical illness.

Stewardship-We will responsibly manage the resources entrusted to us, recognizing our accountability to God and the communities we serve.

Integrity-We will act with honesty, transparency, and responsibility in our decisions.

Community and Fellowship-We will seek partnerships with churches, community organizations, schools, businesses, and healthcare providers to strengthen our support system and serve in unity.
