Our Mission Poverty is incredibly complex, emotionally draining, and often dominated by a narrative of shame. But we refuse to accept the lie that any person’s worth is dependent upon their social or economic lived experiences. Instead, every person has dignity and sacred worth. At SVCM we strive to communicate that dignity to all our neighbors through compassionate presence as we navigate together their most immediate and critical needs. |
