Somebody Cares America/International is a netkwork of organizations with a defined goal
of impact their communities through unified grassroots efforts.
There are four main ministries areas to transform the communities:
- Prayer
- Care
- Share
- Disaster Response
It is proven that when individuals, churches, businesses and community leaders reach out to help their neighbors, they come alive in the process. Each person helped also becomes a tangible manifestation of God’s love and hope, proclaimed to the entire community.
Somebody Cares engages volunteers to reach out to the hurting in society being the hands and feet of Jesus offering real help.
