SERVING
OUR COMMUNITY

Celebrating Since 1982.png

At Religious Community Services (RCS), we are called by God to serve our community with compassion and faith. Since our founding, we have worked to address the basic needs of individuals and families facing hardship by providing food, clothing, and shelter. Rooted in faith, our mission is to:

Build Supportive Community, Engage People Holistically, & Empower Permanent Life Change.

We champion the inherent value of every individual. Recognizing the destabilizing impact of food, clothing, and housing insecurity, we are committed to driving positive change through impactful support and meaningful partnerships. As a values-driven organization, we extend our services to all, irrespective of race, color, religion, gender, gender expression, age, national origin, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status. We are building a community where dignity and opportunity are paramount. Join us in our mission to empower individuals and families to thrive.​
