MORE Community Services

Our mission is to provide refugees and immigrants with education and support, helping them achieve economic and social independence today and for generations to come. With compassion as a priority, we work to remove barriers and ensure our participants’ equal access to important resources and opportunities. Whether those barriers are cultural, financial, educational, language, or systemic, our objective is to make certain that MORE's participants have the opportunity to reach their full potential and enjoy abundant, healthy lives with greater stability outside of poverty. We believe our participants are competent, capable and whole adults. We have as much to learn from them as they do from us. We envision a society in which race no longer determines one's socioeconomic outcome.

MORE develops, supports and invests in our newest neighbors through two Program areas: Education and Social Services.

Our Education Program strengthens the community by equipping New Americans that have low English capacity with the skills and understanding for more and better opportunities for employment. That’s accomplished through providing free English, Digital Literacy and Work Preparedness classes for adults.

Through our Basic Needs Program, we prioritize meeting participant’s most basic needs and provide weekly free food through a partnership with a local Whole Foods, as well as clothing/household goods distributions. Additionally, we provide services like free vaccine clinics and our annual Personal Kit distribution in which participants are provided with full size items personal and household items such as toothpaste and brushes, shampoo, laundry detergent, dish soap and sponges, toilet paper, feminine hygiene products, etc.
