Making Ends Meet is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with an exemption date effective February 21, 2008. Our vision is to enhance quality of life by encouraging self sufficiency and independence. Our mission is to provide financial assistance to those individuals who are attempting to maintain independence or are attempting to become independent of government assistance.
Making Ends Meet was established to benefit individuals who have, for whatever reason, encountered a hardship that significantly impacted their ability to be financially independent. The idea of providing individuals with emergency assistance was inspired by the people who have endured years of hardship and trauma, yet they have maintained a sense of hope as evidenced by their ability to continue to strive towards their goals.
Making Ends Meet is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
