About Somebody Cares New England
It is not our desire to duplicate the services currently being provided by churches or city organizations, but rather compliment and bridge services.
Presently SCNE:
- Provides groceries and household goods to those in need at our end of month food pantry distribution
- Provides groceries to the elderly through our mobile food pantry twice a month
- Provides emergency food relief throughout the month to those in need
- Operates a youth center to help meet the needs of the youth in our city between the ages of 7-18.
- Hosts community paint nights free of charge; thereby removing the financial blockade which has hindered some from experiencing the arts.
- Hosts community forums to help educate the community and create relational nets amongst agencies working with those in distress
- Hosts community block parties to bless the city
- Hosts a basketball and creative arts camp for low income youth during the summer
- Collaborates with other organizations within the city to support their efforts as they help those living in distress
What We Believe
Somebody Cares’ strength lies in unifying the resources of a community and faith network (social services, city and state government, faith organizations, businesses and individuals) to meet the critical needs of the homeless, elderly and youth.
We believe that our effectiveness is dependent on:
- Prayer and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His power to accomplish what our best efforts cannot produce - changed lives.
- Financial tax deductible donations from individuals, businesses, churches and organizations in the community who recognize the importance and impact that Somebody Cares has in the community.
- Committed volunteers who believe in the vision.
- Building a network of relationships that cause synergy for greater effectiveness.
