Our Mission is to:
“SERVE”
S – Serving community through our commitment to the building of strong and healthy families, political awareness and involvement, and one-on-one caring and sharing that will benefit all.
E – Educating ourselves to a better understanding of who we are, while supporting the education of our young people through the continued support of programs and institutions (i.e., public schools, HBCUs).
R – Religious conviction, our spiritual lives and principals, will provide wisdom, knowledge and understanding for all we endeavor to do.
V – Valuing those things that are good, nurturing, and sustaining will help us to train the young, enrich the lives of the mature, and lift the community to a better understanding of the importance of good solid “core values.”
E – Economic growth is essential to our continued development as an organization. Education about the power of ownership.
