Our Mission

ST. LUKE N.E.W. LIFE CENTER MISSION STATEMENT

St. Luke N.E.W. Life Center is a faith-based environment providing life skills, education and workplace training, empowering women and men to become self-sufficient.

WHAT WE DO

We are committed to changing lives through building trusting and enduring relationships with families who receive social support services and job training assistance through our programs.

We also operate two social enterprises, a food pantry that serves over 1,000 people monthly, and a variety of community services, including but not limited to; crisis intervention, eye clinic, childcare, and a literacy center. These services are critical to the success of our workforce programming, as they provide participants with additional wrap-around services required to support their families, as well as real-world experience during the program. Furthermore, our community services help us build trust with people in the community, that ultimately move on to enroll in programs that address generational poverty. Many of the people in our employment preparation programs and social enterprises were introduced to N.E.W. Life through our food pantry or crisis intervention services.
