At Boost Others, we believe that every family in crisis deserves to know they are not alone. Our mission is to uplift families by responding quickly to urgent, unmet needs in the name Christ. Working hand-in-hand with trusted partners like social workers, schools, and hospitals, we provide critical support for families during their toughest moments.
Hebrews 2:18 says,
"He is able to help and provide immediate assistance to those who are being tested and exposed to suffering..."
Our team saw firsthand the gaps in community resources and how these gaps left families without the help they desperately needed. So, we created a network of hospitals, social workers, fire stations, and schools to connect families with emergency support in as little as 24-48 hours. We believe Christ cared and met spiritual and physical needs of people who were in the greatest need and so we will also.
