Missions

The Mission of The Caring Place is to provide for the basic human needs of all people in our community in a welcoming, respectful and caring way. Since 1985, The Caring Place has provided for the basic human needs of all people in our community in a welcoming, respectful and caring way.  Through two thrift shops, The Shops at The Caring Place and Second Helping, both in Georgetown, the organization is able to pay all operating expenses to serve a growing community.  All monetary and food donations directly benefit neighbors needing food, utility, rent, transportation or medical assistance.  The Caring Place is a community-based and community-supported organization.

Georgetown Backpack Buddies provides much needed food to food insecure children in the Georgetown school system for the weekend and summer months. These students are eligible for the federal “free or reduced price breakfast and lunch program” on school days. Georgetown Backpack Buddies provides a weekend food pack with the goal that the students will come to school on Monday mornings nourished and ready to learn.

Mission 4031 is a compassionate organization dedicated to providing respite care, fostering inclusive communities, and sharing the gospel with individuals with disabilities and their families. Our mission centers around offering physical and spiritual support, raising awareness, and advocating for the inclusion of all abilities within the church and society. Our respite activities offer essential support to families, providing relief to caregivers and equipping dedicated volunteers to make a profound difference in the lives of individuals with special needs.

At Feed My Sheep, instead of simply treating the symptoms of poverty over and over, we see and get to know people. This recognition of every person as inherently valuable allows us to focus on relationship building and long-term investment into our community through our mutual need for Christ’s love. We believe that Jesus calls us to live as he did during his earthly ministry- sharing the gospel and making disciples, while meeting physical, spiritual and emotional needs. Everyone who comes through our doors enters into a recognition of our shared humanity, value and need. Our goal is for every need to be met, but especially the need for Christ’s love.

We provide a mentor for EVERY 4th grader in the economically disadvantaged schools we serve.  Our volunteers serve together once a month for 90 minutes and mentor the 4th graders in leadership. They express love and care and provide the students with a positive relationship with a dependable adult. Mentoring is the most effective tool to provide children with a greater sense of self-worth, a positive view of the future, increased engagement in school, and encouragement for greater academic achievement. Through the positive relationships we build, we can expand a child’s horizons and instill a can-do attitude that opens up possibilities for a brighter tomorrow.

Casa de la Esperanza is a Christian orphanage that has been transformed from a house of ruin into a pristine and beautiful “house of hope”. Our mission is to serve those unfortunate children of Mexico who, for reasons not their own, find themselves orphaned, lost, abandoned, or abused. These children, who are made in the image of God, need the embracing arms, love, and the support of the Father through His servants. We purpose to raise these children in a manner that will render their greatness through the knowledge of God and a solid educational program.
