Why It Matters
Every child should grow up with the tools to thrive.
But years of cultural, governmental, and social change have left inner-city families behind. Without someone in the gap, the cost is real.
- 01Kids go to bed hungry in a city of plenty.
- 02Teenagers drop out with no plan for what's next.
- 03Parents carry crisis alone, with no one to call.
- 04Neighborhoods lose the leaders they were meant to raise.
- 05Churches stay disconnected from the families next door.
- 06Another generation inherits the same cycle.
We can help.
AIM shows up in the gap — every Wednesday for food, every week for kids, and every year a family needs us.

ThriveKids
ThriveKids is AIM's faith-based youth development program built on four foundations — identity, moral, and social development, and faith foundations.
Learn moreLIFT Students
LIFT is a weekly gathering for middle and high school students centered on the two things that change a life's trajectory: finishing school, and knowing you're not walking it alone.
Learn moreFamilyConnect
A monthly gathering for parents and guardians — a shared meal, practical help, and a room full of people raising kids in the same neighborhoods.
Learn moreCommunity Service
AIM hosts students, court-referred neighbors, and anyone else who needs documented community service hours. Pick a Tuesday or Wednesday, sign up, show up, and we'll verify your hours.
Learn moreFood Pantry
No application, no paperwork, no qualifying process. Walk in Wednesdays and leave with food for your household.
Learn moreMobile Distribution
Once a month our team loads the truck and sets up in Park Vista and Colony South, because transportation shouldn't decide whether a family eats.
Learn morePrayer Team
The quietest part of AIM's work, and the part our staff lean on most. You can serve from anywhere.
Learn moreOur Hope For Every Child
Three outcomes we work toward, together.
Graduate From High School
High school graduation is one of the biggest predictors of a young person's future. We're working toward a 100% graduation rate for every kid in our programs.
Have A Future Plan
After graduation, many young people don't know what's next or how to get there. We help our students name what they're called to do — and build the path to it.
Be Involved In A Church
Kids, teenagers, and families need a solid community around them. While they're in our programs, we help them become fully rooted in the body of Christ.
Give
Your generosity keeps the doors open.
Join the Circle of Hope with a monthly gift, give once, or drop off in-kind donations at the pantry. Every dollar stays in the neighborhood.
