About Us

WHO ARE WE?

We are four 501(c)(3) private not for profit organizations located in Canton, Ohio.  We share a common Mission to assist families and individuals in achieving and maintaining independence, security and personal well-being.  We share a common Vision for ourselves and the families we serve. Founded in 1974 as an outreach ministry of St. Paul's Catholic Church in Canton, Ohio, then Pastor Reverend J. Robert Coleman built service to the people of this community through his daily example and vision.  It is a legacy we aspire to more than thirty-five years later as we continue to assist over 500 families each year.
