GAP's mission is simple: Standing in the GAP for those in need. Bringing help to children, healing to families, and hope to the community. GAP has been an advocate for children and at-risk populations since 1999, serving in 3 core areas: Children: GAP daily cares for children and teens in the foster system who have experienced abuse and neglect in family-oriented group homes. Family: GAP licenses foster caregivers to address a growing need. GAP serves the families of children in foster care by providing a safe place for supervised visitation between parents and their children with the goal of a healthy reunification when possible. Community: GAP provides food and basic need items to men, women, and children through partnerships with over 35 nonprofits and churches through our Community Warehouse. The 05 Market has free and greatly reduced fresh produce and pantry staples, to help stretch the grocery budget for families. The GAP Kitchen prepares 1000+ meals each week for low-income school children, the elderly, and other at-risk individuals. Career Plus Career and Life Development Program allows individuals coming from a difficult past to increase their value in the job market, with skills and continued support. Our goal is to continually evolve in these areas to Stand in the GAP for the children we serve, with the strong hope and sincere desire that generational cycles of poverty, addiction, and a growing foster care system can be healed ONE LIFE at a time. Breaking these cycles through the power of God can lead to HEALTHIER FAMILIES and this creates TRANSFORMED COMMUNITIES.
