 We are actively offering:

• Application & Aid Navigation
  We provide hands-on help with completing applications for housing assistance, SNAP (food stamps), Medicaid, TANF, childcare subsidies, and other public benefits. Our team walks you through the forms and supports you through the process with dignity and care.
   
• Referral Coordination
  We maintain active referral partnerships with agencies allowing us to connect you directly to critical resources like utility and rental assistance, weatherization programs, and family support services. We also maintain a growing network of trusted providers for mental health, recovery, and housing.

 Yes. Our services are free and open to anyone facing a hard season. Whether you’re in recovery, reentry, parenting under stress, or just trying to stabilize. We don’t require referrals, diagnoses, or proof of sobriety. If a program has income limits (like rental assistance), we’ll help you apply for the ones you do qualify for. Everyone is treated with dignity, no matter their story.

 We are currently operational on Saturday Mornings for in-person support.

• Saturday morning programming is held in person, with parenting groups and on-site youth support. Located inside Friendship Christian Churchs'  John B. McCollough Family Life Center. 221 W Bradley Ave. Gastonia, NC 28052
   
• Tuesday night groups are virtual and will transition to in-person soon
   

These sessions will use licensed, trauma-informed curricula and are built for both healing and connection. Pre-registration is open now — reach out to join.
