San Antonio Christian Hope Resource Center (CHRC)
The “Mentoring Out of Poverty” program is the epicenter of CHRC’s mission. This vital program, holistically enhances the lives of working poor individuals and families in the community to become food secure and increasingly sustainable on a long-term basis. With their personal mentors, staff social workers and MSW interns, clients create a goal-based plan to address and overcome their unique barriers resulting in poverty. Mentors walk side-by-side with their clients as they achieve higher levels of sustainability, while offering grace, accountability, and support along the way.
CHRC’s quality mentoring relationships, connections to public assistance programs, targeted referrals, community support, and holistic wrap-around services strategically and preventatively help each client end their cycle of poverty.
