City Relief

City Relief (formerly relief bus) connects people who are experiencing poverty and homeless to resources they need to survive, and the hope they need to try. When everything falls apart, the long journey back begins one step at a time: a hot meal, emergency shelter, food, socks, ID, detox, employment, and the belief that a brighter future is possible!

New City Kids

New City Kids offers after school programming for local low-income youth. Children and teens get a chance to explore music and academics in a creative and fun environment. Though there are many challenges of urban life, especially for youth, these programs give children a safe place to feel and hear that they are valued and loved. NCK aims to draw children into hope by developing in them skills, talents, and desires for their future. By surrounding them with a community of love and development, we strive to set youth on a path of transformation that will carry them forward for the rest of their lives.

We do this by offering an array of services, including ESL instruction, GED/TASC preparation, and computer literacy classes. The Open Door embodies a true “familia” mentality, as our students are loved, supported, and truly believed in!
