Missions we support
SECOND PRESBYTERIAN MISSION AND EVANGELISM PARTNERS
ForKids’ mission is to break the cycle of poverty and homelessness for families and children. They assist about 150 families weekly through emergency shelters, transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, and in-home care management. In 2020, ForKids received assets from Park Place Child Life Center toward the end of adding arts education to its ongoing science, technology, engineering and math enrichment program both afterschool and on weekends. ForKids will be turning STEM into STEAM for children of both the families it is fostering out of homelessness, as well as other children at risk. With the STEAM initiative, there will be more opportunities for both volunteer and financial support from our congregation.
