The Seeds of Hope 12-month program was designed to assist a low-income, at-risk, or distressed family unit. The goal of this program was to identify areas of need while also helping family units cultivate the necessary skills to become self-sufficient and self-sustaining in the community. Examples of targeted areas include securing stable employment, counseling, financial literacy, budgeting, chaplaincy services, and the like, thus assisting the family to become a thriving family unit in their respective community.

Seeds Of Hope-Hand Up

Through the generosity of MSI’s financial supporters, MSI was able to provide a "hands up" to the family by:

Providing Rental Assistance for 6 Months
Purchasing Furniture (Sofa, TV, Beds)
Providing a $25 Per Week Stipend Over a 2 Month Period
Assisting with Utilities, Car Insurance, and Car Registration
Providing Access to an On-Call Chaplain
