For you shall go out in joy and be led back in peace…. Isaiah 55:12a

Partnership for Peace

Where is peace needed in our community?

Home

This photo shows a bed located within a small outcrop in the woods, next to a busy highway. A collection of sticks and blankets line the bedding located in a larger living area where food and trash are stowed away nearby.

To someone, this is home. This illustrates the conditions many people in the community endure. No roof, no shelter, no security. We must expand services and connect people to the services they need to thrive, not just survive.
