Community Works provides opportunities for individuals who have experienced homelessness to rediscover purpose and apply their God-given talents to earn a dignified income. The micro-enterprise program empowers Mobile Loaves & Fishes volunteers to serve alongside our friends as they develop new skills, while also cultivating enduring relationships.
