Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. The Mission is dedicated to giving hope, resources and life skills training to Mooresville's poorest families. Giving a hand-out solves immediate needs, but what about tomorrow? With community support we can teach these families how to survive, thrive and become self-sufficient. Help your neighbors rise out of poverty permanently.
