Our Mission

Our mission is to see those that are invisible; to hear those that have no voice, and to reinforce the infinite value and worth of each person we meet by providing a loving, compassionate and consistent presence, needed resources and hope to those living in the shelters and on the streets of Maine through our mobile peer outreach. 

Our Vision

A world where those living on the margins due to homelessness, trauma, substance use disorder and mental health challenges, are seen and heard; feel a true sense of worth, acceptance, belonging and hope, and are provided access to the resources they need to live full lives.
