C.A.M.P. began as a small
clothing distribution center over 42
years ago when local church
representatives formed a partnership to
battle the effects of poverty.
From those humble
beginnings we have grown into a
multi-faceted agency assisting thousands
of our neighbors with their basic needs.
This vital coalition of churches,
businesses, civic groups and caring
individuals represents community
partnership at its very best.

Christian Aid Mission
Partnership remains committed to making
life better for individuals whose lives
are affected by poverty. Through our
assistance programs we have been able to
make a positive impact on the lives of
thousands of our neighbors. We provide
food, clothing and financial assistance
to help stabilize families and prevent
homelessness.
In 2010 C.A.M.P. served
12,772 unduplicated clients, 50% of whom
are children under 18 years of age. We
distributed 1,142,882 pounds of food,
served 17,581 meals, distributed 136,540
items of clothing, and gave over
$105,000.00 in direct financial
assistance to help with prescription
medications, household utilities, and
rent.
