Mission Statement
Our mission at SECOM Resource Center is to give help and hope to our neighbors by empowering families to achieve their full potential through healthy living, education and economic opportunities.
Description
A consistent Center for Resources, Empowerment, Nutrition, and Education.
Today, SECOM is a key resource center that gives help today and builds hope for tomorrow through connecting families with community resources, improving health, and providing educational and empowerment programs for low income children and families.
SECOM is located in the city of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Our location puts us in the middle of what is termed a 'Food Desert'. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, a "food desert" is a place where people have limited access to a variety of healthy and affordable food. Studies have shown that these locations have higher percentage of minority populations as well as increased unemployment rates. SECOM's location ensures nutritional food access and resources for families in an area that is insufficient to support them.
