About Us
Our values
Hospitality, Mutuality, and Transformation – speak to our belief that individuals experiencing poverty should be treated with respect. We are all equals here, with the same needs and desires – only our circumstances differ. We welcome everyone who enters our doors as our guests, helping them fight off the root causes of poverty.

Face to Face relieves suffering in our guests by giving them support to meet their immediate needs through these core programs. We meet our guests where they are, and our program staff from all of our services work together to develop a unique plan of action for each guest that addresses their complex mix of issues.
