Our Responsibility
“Homelessness is a tragic condition that afflicts individuals and even families in many places, including Utah. The causes are varied, and solutions are often difficult, but whether homelessness stems from conflict, poverty, mental illness, addiction or other sources, our response to those in need defines us as individuals and communities.”
-First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Our Logo
The color green was selected as the color of life. Green represents harmony with nature and our environment as we strive for a sustainable low/no footprint community.
Home is more than a place of residence. It is a feeling, a perspective, and a symbol. It is a symbol of security. It represents hope and a sense of belonging. It represents family.
With an outstretched hand we offer our service, our friendship, and our love.
The heart represents all the love that we as a community and people have to give to those in need, to those who have been forgotten, or forsaken.
The leaves at the center of our logo and in the middle of our heart, represents all that we are. We hope that those we serve will find a rebirth in faith, hope and love. That the subsequent growth will mold them into powerful forces for positive change. That like the fruits and vegetables they grow, they may go and nurture their communities in love.
