Our Mission: Come As You Are
At CAYA Church, our doors are open to all. Regardless of your background, circumstances, or struggles, we believe in God’s message of love and acceptance. Our mission is to extend this message through our outreach programs, partnerships, and resource support for individuals and families in the Philadelphia community.
We are blessed to work alongside hospitals, shelters, nonprofit organizations, and rehabilitation programs to bring solutions to the challenges our community faces. We strive to meet immediate needs while planting seeds of hope and empowerment for a brighter future.
Our Key Programs That Impact the Community
1. Access to Restrooms and Clean Clothing
Many homeless individuals in Philadelphia lack access to basic facilities. At CAYA Church, we provide a welcoming space where individuals can wash up, change into clean clothing, and restore their dignity.
2. Food Pantry and Hot Meals
Hunger is a growing epidemic in many neighborhoods. Through our food pantry, we provide groceries to those in need. We also host regular hot meal programs where individuals can enjoy nourishing, freshly cooked meals.
3. CAYA Community Blessing Outreach Events
These events are at the heart of our community service. Every month, we host outreach events offering free cookouts and clothing for men, women, and families. These gatherings foster connection and offer much-needed relief to those struggling.
4. CAYA Connect Community Shelter Program (Upcoming)
We are trusting God for the resources to launch our CAYA Connect Community Shelter Program, which aims to provide shelter to the homeless during this ongoing crisis. This initiative is part of our larger commitment to ending homelessness in Frankford.
5. Resource Partnerships and Support
We work closely with local shelters, hospitals, and nonprofit organizations to connect individuals with the resources they need, including access to drug rehabilitation programs and medical support.
