OUR MISSION

Philoxenia – the Greek word for “friend to the stranger” – expresses the heart of our mission: to feed and clothe those who are hungry and homeless.

We serve with compassion, without judgment and through the generosity of our supporters.

Please join us in helping to care for those who need us the most.
