Building Community Foundations for Self-Reliance
We strive to endure, inspire and instill hope within the community.
How We Give Back to Your Community
Self-reliance provides communities with the resilience they need to weather any storm, including economic downturns, food insecurity, and gaps in vital information. We want to support our community to promote self-reliance. As an organization, we're always challenging unfair legislation that disempowers our community by building hope and creating community spaces where people can work together: social ends through business means.
Our front-line services deal with the immediate crises and problems faced by low income people and with the 21% cuts to social assistance, there is an even greater need for our services. We are looking at long-term solutions to the problem of poverty.
Supporting families towards self-sufficiency is about really embracing them when they have fallen into the despair of poverty, and showing them kindness and thoughtful care.
