History

S.E.R.V.E. began its mission to help others in the community back in 1979. The need lives on...and is growing at a fast-paced rate. In July 2008 our food pantry saw a 153% increase in demand, compared to July 2007. Your help means so much to those who are in need. We are here to offer a hand up to those who are in need of one. We offer financial and food pantry assistance. We also offer budgeting and financial planning classes, basic computer skills and job employment skills. We know that these skills are empowering.
