JOURNEYS | Lives Here
"The mission of JOURNEYS | The Road Home is to individually assess and serve the homeless and near homeless, while broadening community awareness and involvement with the homeless." - JOURNEYS Mission Statement
JOURNEYS views its mission statement as a mandate from our community. It is our community that makes the work of helping our neighbors in need possible. It is our community who champions our cause, provides resources, time, and helping hands. In short, JOURNEYS is made of, by, and for our community.
With construction wrapped up on our new building, we've been inspired to think about how JOURNEYS' mission is at work both within and beyond our walls. That's how JOURNEYS | Lives Here was born. The JOURNEYS | Lives Here campaign is all about recognizing and celebrating the individuals and organizations that empower JOURNEYS' mission.
We want to showcase you! Volunteering at a PADS Shelter or at the HOPE Center? Collecting items at your place of worship or business? Attending a JOURNEYS event? Show us how you or your organization is making JOURNEYS' mission possible. Snap a photo and email it to our Marketing Associate, Roxanne Gentry, (r.gentry@journeystheroadhome.org) for a chance to be featured on our website and social media platforms. If you like, print out the JOURNEYS | Lives Here sign and hold it up in your photo! See terms below.
