Our Services
We offer services that help individuals and families address immediate needs, move from crisis to stability, support families, and strengthen community.
Support & Resources
We're the first line of support when individuals and families face crisis. We listen, connect you with resources, and find real solutions to move toward stability. Support includes things like transportation, financial and utility assistance, heating and housing.
Children & Family Enrichment
From after-school STEM and book clubs to summer camp, we offer free, hands-on programs that give children the support they need to keep pace in school and beyond. We also support single moms through GLAD, a program focused on building confidence and new strategies for their families.
Adult & Community Education
Our adult education programs are built around conversation, not lectures. Getting Ahead is a program that helps individuals living in poverty create a personal plan for stability. Bridges Out of Poverty trains organizations and community leaders to be better partners in that work.

TESTIMONIALS
real Stories
A community partner shared a message regarding the work that our case manager, Tayla, did recently to help a vulnerable neighbor. This individual had an order to vacate his home and was at risk of losing his housing voucher. Tayla was able to advocate for this neighbor, connected him with legal aid services to help him through the court process and garnered support from 4 of our community partners to cover almost $2000 in past due rent. Throughout this process, Tayla was able to ensure this neighbor remained stably housed.
Great job, Tayla! Thank you for your hard work and dedication to Orion and to our community!
