Poor Culture
Our Mission Our mission is empower the poor to be and to create change. Charged with the words of Jesus, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. (Luke 4:18-19),” we aim to liberate the poor into the fullness of life. Our Vision We do church, differently. Founded on the teachings of Jesus, we minister to the poor — the least of these, and meet needs in a sustainable manner. We don’t just talk the talk. We walk the walk, and are changing New York City’s poorest district “sidewalk by sidewalk, corner by corner.

Boys and Girls Clubs of Southern Maryland
Our mission is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens. So many children today, underprivileged and upper class, boys and girls of all races, turn to the streets, gangs and crime because they do not have a positive role model in which to turn. And some children just need a safe place to call their own. That’s why BGCSM is more important than ever.
