Mission
'New Life' Outreach Ministries' Mission is to assist economically disadvantaged individuals and families by ensuring that they have access to food, and shelter by assisting them when they encounter financial hardships. We meet the needs of our homeless communities by supplying food, toiletries, clothing and other necessities needed for them to function in society. We provide one on one group support to those struggling with and/or recovering from addiction. We teach self-empowerment, self-reliance, accountability, coping skills and responsibility on how to live life on life's term as individuals become productive members of society. We also ensure that individuals and families have access to appropriate medical and dental care by forming partnerships with other community leaders.

CEO Statement
Our Ministry reaches out to those in our community whom others have made to feel least, lost and left out by their families, community leaders and churches as a whole. I am a 23 year survivor of crack cocaine. I have experienced the hurt, shame, and guilt of a down trodden and abused lifestyle. I know what it feels like to feel unwanted which came with my 12 years of addiction. My passion is to help others to learn how to become productive members of society and I want them to know that they can live life on life's term without the use of drugs and alcohol. My desire is to help others experience Christ's love in such a way that they learn and know how to love themselves. The characteristics of Christ that I display on a daily basis is love, joy, peace, mercy, faithfulness, humility, gentleness and self control. I am very passionate about serving in 'New Life' Outreach Ministries and I take great pride in the service that we offer to individuals in our community.
