Serve The City wants to be a catalyst in the transformation of neighborhoods, cities and lives as people volunteer to serve others. They do this by connecting the city's resources and needs, facilitating local volunteer involvement and promoting inclusion. On the Peninsula of Virginia, they want to see redeveloping communities transformed through partnerships between the police department, faith-based organizations, civic leagues and schools by building trusting relationships that bring hope and health.

What Drives Us: Simply stated, the example of Jesus to care for the marginalized, the overlooked, and the forgotten is what motivates our work every day. Our mission is fueled by this.

Our mission is simple, too: We work to care for isolated families to bring stability and connection and to eliminate the need for foster care interventions.
