Mission Statement

Sunday Friends empowers families in need to break the cycle of poverty. Children and parents earn basic necessities while they contribute to their community, learn life skills and develop self-sufficiency.

Giving_Receiving_Growing

There are no free handouts at Sunday Friends; families earn the basic necessities they receive. This approach of earning, instead of traditional charity, builds self-confidence in families and brings out the best in each person. Sunday Friends provides a structured, opportunity-rich environment for very low-income families to give back to their community while they meet their basic needs and develop self-sufficiency for the long-term.

Every Sunday Friends program includes over 300 people: children, their parents and community volunteers. The programs are designed to foster the growth of developmental assets in children. Parent involvement ensures that the practice of positive life skills will continue throughout the week.

Non-Discrimination Statement

Sunday Friends does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, creed, marital status, gender, disability, age or sexual orientation in its programs or activities. Please email us if you have any questions regarding this policy.

Sunday Friends is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. EIN: 77-0518937
