COMMUNITY FAITH PARTNERS
Volunteer Ministry Center's Faith Community Partners are at the very heart of its mission in preventing and ending homelessness in our community. Since its founding, VMC's Faith Community Partners have provided the financial support, volunteers and community support for our programs and services to serve those experiencing homelessness. We believe that housing is not only the answer to homelessness, but is also a part of the healing process for those seeking to reclaim their lives. We believe that homelessness impacts the entire community and in turn, preventing and ending homelessness is only possible with the partnership of our Faith Community Partners.
