Another Chance mission is to empower individuals by giving them opportunities to help others while helping themselves and building a stronger community
Description
Another Chance is a faith-based non-profit program that serves men, women and children who reside in the Greater Cleveland community. The organization is established as a way to get needed clothing, furniture, appliances, housewares and toys into the hands of individuals at no cost to them. Many households have these items to share. Those donating often need help with pick-up and delivery, Donors are pleased that their donations will be given to those in need at no cost. In 1990 under the leadership of Pastor Walter J. Clark Sr. and Missionary Barbara Anderson the movement began to make these resources available to those most in need living in our communities.
Another Chance of Ohio is a 501c3 non-profit whose mission is to provide high quality homes for low- income people. Another Chance will never operate as just another housing facility. Neither is it the will of Another Chance that any of our homes be considered as just another "house" but, rather it is our will that they be considered a real "home." Consequently it is not our desire to put several families in a home but rather--- try to nurture and encourage one family at a time. It is our goal to equip our residents with resources that will sustain them for a lifetime.
