Mission, Focus & Community WARM’s Mission is our guiding light. WARM’s Focus is reflected in our Values which direct us in helping people in ways that honor God and our neighbors. The Community identifies those we assist and all that serve and work with us. The Choice Market has provided short-term assistance in the form of hundreds of thousands of meals since 1972. Our Kids Lunch Club and Share Bac A Pac summer and weekend meal programs for youth make sure hungry children are nourished in both mind and body throughout the year. Our new Workforce Development Program prepares people for higher-paying jobs that lead to self-sufficient lives. Additionally, our programs and services provide life coaching and referrals to other community resources, providing a hand up to those needing it. Our Values and Vision provide focus. Focus on the needs of others. Focus on today’s necessities while keeping a watchful eye on emerging poverty trends, such as shifts in community demographics and the need for living-wage jobs. WARM is a Community Resource, and we draw from the community’s collaborative strength. Generous residents donate food to feed their hungry neighbors. They give money for program services that help others toward greater self-sufficiency. And hundreds of volunteers donate thousands of hours each year so others can have better lives. Our mission is clear, our focus is keen, and our community is engaged. Come join us. Your partnership makes it possible, and your blessings and stewardship have an impact! Together, we are making a real difference.

With WARM appreciation,
