How We got Started
The origins of Roots Living Ministry are “rooted” (pun intended) in the desire to get involved and provide assistance and care within our community.
We have started small as do most organizations but our ambition, spirit and strength to encourage and assist others is larger than life.
From delivering groceries to our neighbors, we moved on to local partnerships and programs, with more events and volunteering opportunities planned and on the horizon.
How We Plan to Expand
The specific objectives and purpose of this organization are:
1. Supplementing the basic needs of Monroe County residents through food provisions – in partnership with other local, food-based organizations.
2. Providing mental health support through certified facilitator led peer support groups, as well as advocating for mental health through presentations and individual advocacy.
3. Working in partnership with agencies and organizations to help Monroe County residents navigate social services and streamline the process of seeking assistance.
4. Encouraging community involvement and volunteerism through interactive podcast productions on social media.
