MISSIONS

Bread of Life

Food distribution for qualified individuals and families. A cooperative effort by Scottsville area churches. Third Saturday of each month at the Scottsville Community Center. 9 a.m. - 10:30 a.m.

Discovery School for Boys

The Discovery School of Virginia serves teenage boys who are experiencing emotional, behavioral, and learning problems. Located on 318 acres in central Virginia, The Discovery School uses group therapy and the natural environment to promote a student's overall positive development.

Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity, a world-wide nonprofit organization made famous by the involvement of former President Jimmy Carter, helps solve the problem of substandard housing, one family at a time.

Habitat volunteers work side-by-side with Habitat homeowners, known as partner families. The partner families invest hundreds of hours of their own labor and "sweat equity" into building their own houses and the homes of fellow partner families.

Habitat homes are sold to partner families at cost (no profit to Habitat) with a no-interest mortgage. Because there are no labor costs, no profits for the builders and no interest, most partner families pay less per month for their Habitat home than they paid in rent for a substandard dwelling.

Meals on Wheels

Community Meals on Wheels, Inc. is an independent, non-profit organization, founded in 1977 by Church Women United. Meals on Wheels volunteers deliver hot, nutritious meals to homebound residents of the Charlottesville/Albemarle area who find it difficult or impossible to prepare meals for themselves.

Hospice of the Piedmont

Considered to be a model for quality, compassionate care at the end-of-life, Hospice of the Piedmont's program involves a team-oriented approach to expert medical care, pain management, and emotional and spiritual support expressly tailored to the patient's needs and wishes.

Support is extended to the patient's loved ones, as well. At the center of our program is the belief that each of us has the right to die pain-free and with dignity, with our families receiving the necessary support to allow us to do so. The focus is on caring, not curing, and, in most cases, care is provided in the patient's home. Hospice of the Piedmont's promise is fulfilled every day as we care for the dying and their families in Central Virginia.
