There are no barriers to serving all ethnic and racial groups. We're dedicated to helping every lacking person succeed. We envision helping by confronting the basic needs in people's lives, thereby making it possible for them to experience life's fullness, expression of humility, and gratitude in every interaction. These core values enable our organization to be effective in community outreach. We have reached the most vulnerable and marginalized people, including the mentally challenged and those without transportation. MCH has achieved World-Class recognition for mitigating the spread of COVID-19. 

Eliminating food insecurity is the basis of what we do, coupled with counseling, our organization educates, screens for other social determinants of health, and does referrals to our local physicians and other human service providers. We offer Certified Chaplain services, mental and health care providers and our Kids Kafe provides hot meals to children and their families.
