Services Director

Description

City Care exists to do the work few others are willing to do. We believe in the intrinsic value of every person. It is with love and compassion that we walk alongside neighbors who are often overlooked in our community.

With enough endurance, we witness, firsthand, remarkable stories of transformation.
