Outreach and Engagement Committee Position Description

WHAT WE DO

Open Arms Ministry provides access to programs and service that help meet some of the basic needs of those who are currently experiencing the effects of financial poverty, namely homelessness and hunger. We believe in everyone’s ability to achieve a life of joy, fulfillment, and financial stability. However, the basic needs of food, shelter, clothing, and safety must be met for a person to begin setting other goals in their lives. We seek to work with our brothers and sisters who are in a state of financial Dependence and journey with them along a path that moves to Independence. Our first step is to expand the programming in a way that provides us the opportunity to meet basic needs in a holistic way.

MISSION

Open Arms Ministry supports and partners with those struggling with homelessness, poverty, and food insecurity to enhance human dignity, community, and opportunity.
