Celebrating the activity of God in our midst, the mission of Access is to strengthen and develop wholistic solutions to poverty by cultivating equitable systems through education and collaboration. We do this through three main initiatives: Poverty Education, Good Food Systems, and Congregation Connections. Access addresses root causes of poverty by leading capacity building and systems change for non-profits, congregations, and other change-making organizations. The vision of Access is a community rooted in equitable systems. We strive toward our vision by addressing disparities that create poverty in existent systems through a collective impact model to prevent poverty rather than react to it.
