We Care
“Faith networks today act as sources of spiritual and social support. These churches and ministries are frequently some of the strongest institutions serving rural residents.” (Quote from Great Valley Center).
Our Vision
Is to build relational networks with people who care directly for people’s felt needs bringing compassion into action many times resulting in changed lives.
The resource is the relationship
Relationships without releasing resources is many times self-serving and short lived. We have found building authentic relationships that realize the people’s felt needs and find ways to release resources to meet the needs builds a bond of trust and changes both lives.
Examples of onramps to CARE:
Food for the Valley
Businessman Alan Pirie: Alan first developed his heart to feed people after a trip to Africa. For the past seven years, Alan has asked his family and friends to release time and resources yearly to help feed those who feed us. Because of this 30,000 lbs. of food yearly has been distributed through 28 valley churches, feeding thousands of people while offering them spiritual hope.

Serving Children 0-5
Bringing Accessible Supplies Into Communities (BASIC). Is a collaborative partnership with First 5, several local business leaders, 42 churches, and helping agencies distributed diapers, coats, food, and most importantly hope through services to 40,474 children 0-5 years old in 14 Fresno County communities.

Who Cares Who wins?
After years of creating onramps and engaging people into caring for others we are convinced that serving others is the most rewarding experience a person can have the fulfillment touches the human soul deeply. One servant put it this way “I discovered we need them more than they need us.”
Jesus cares that we care!
When did we see you sick? “Truly I tell you whatever you did, for the least of these, you did for ME.”
