Mission Statement

Project Understanding is a faith-based agency founded and established on the principles and ideals of Judaism and Christianity whose mission is two-fold: To do justice by serving the poor, hungry and oppressed with compassion and mercy, and to provide avenues for those who wish to serve others.

I think it is a very organized, and the people are compassionate. I get food there once every two months to help cover when my foods stamps run out. I am not working right now just finishing up on my A.S. in Addictive Disorders. I am very grateful for my help I have got in times needs.
