WHO WE ARE
CRISIS SERVICES THAT LEAD TO TRUE CHANGE.
At Marked For Life Ministries, our Crisis Resolution programs continue to uplift individuals facing homelessness, addiction, and food insecurity. In 2023, we expanded the Hope Center, tripling its physical space to meet the growing needs of our community. Our compassionate, dignity-centered approach offers essential resources and an opportunity for participants to engage through meaningful contributions, like preparing meals, organizing clothing, and serving neighbors.

COMMITTED TO FILLING
PLATES RATHER THAN LANDFILLS.
Through our steadfast commitment to reducing food waste, we've forged impactful partnerships with local eateries and retailers via Marked For Life. These collaborative efforts have yielded consistent food rescues, channeling nourishment to stock our crisis center pantry. What's more, this life-saving resource extends its reach to benefit seven other organizations within our county.
