SECOR CARES

Mission: Loving kids, families, and those in need with food and financial assistance while restoring dignity and hope for a better future!

Vision: to build a team implementing our services to 5,000 of the more than 45,000 families in our 42 zip codes while collaborating with other like-minded organizations as well as planting the SECOR model in additional locations.

As a faith-based organization, we are about restoring justice to a fearful, hidden, hopeless, and significantly unreached group through redemptive love and grace in the face of suburban poverty’s devastation.

While facing brokenness, hurt, confusion, and shame, we see the faces of our guests as they seek help in the midst of job loss, underemployment, recent divorce, inadequate retirement for the elderly, outrageous medical bills, brutal rents, almost non-existent public transportation, broken down auto’s, and multiple other “LIFE HAPPENS” events that few are capable of planning for.

SECOR FOOD MARKET

The Market is a grocery store with no cash registers.  As you arrive, you will sign in.  Once you are checked in by a staff member (paperwork or interview may need to be completed) and it is your turn to shop, a volunteer accompanies you through the Market where you choose the food that will best meet your needs.

There is a produce section where you can choose fresh fruit and vegetables as well as a huge selection of meats, eggs, milk, and more.

Shop with choice and pay nothing.  Please give them a call or come by the office during market shopping hours to experience it for yourself.

Please call 720-842- 5621 before your first visit to check that your address is within our areas of service.
