Our organization was born out of a desire to make a difference in the lives of individuals and families in East Tennessee. Inspired by Barbara Jean Sheets (aka Mama Jean), the inspiration for our work and the matriarch of the family. We are dedicated to providing essential resources, support, and opportunities for growth to those in need.
