Established by Covenant Evangelical Free Church in 2000, our faith-based ethos motivates us to express God’s love to the community where God has placed us. We are a not-for-profit social service agency that seeks to bring hope and purpose to children, youths and seniors so that they go on to create positive impact in their community and society. Over the years, we have reached out to thousands of individuals from different religions and races – with absolutely no strings attached.

We are a full member of the National Council of Social Service and an Institution of Public Character.
