Our mission is to share Christ’s love with the families in our community!

We help families with resources and relationships that empower them to thrive.

We follow Jesus’ model of sacrificial love, remove barriers, and provide equal opportunity to those in need.

We provide families with advocacy, programming, and personal relationships to address basic needs and equip them with next steps to grow in their faith and thrive in the Marion community.

Marion Cares offers Family Programming

Our Families.

We have identified two neighborhoods in our community as Marion Cares Neighborhoods, or MCN for short. We have concentrated our efforts in these areas of higher needs through providing specialized programs and fostering relationships. This includes family-focused kits, after-school kid's program, and special events.

Our Community.

Our community is stronger when every member has their basic needs met. One of the most important basic needs is safe housing. We help Marion residents with rent assistance when they are facing eviction. We provide care coordination to navigate the network of agencies and services in our area.
