1st STEP ACTION and IDEAS

First Step Action is simply the initial step taken that allows us to be WITH others and AVAILABLE to be the bridge to Second Step help. A great example of 1st step action is the Good Samaritan in the parable of the Good Samaritan found in the Bible (Luke 10:30-37). We believe being nice and doing Acts of Kindness is always a good thing.

We restore HOPE by modeling 1st Step Action in our daily lives.
