Our Mission
Widows and Orphans aims to revolutionize the future of caregiving by offering holistic health services for the mind, body, and soul. A pivotal component of our strategy involves the establishment of thrift stores in local communities through strategic partnerships with major retailers. These stores serve a dual purpose: they contribute to covering costs for Widows and Orphans' facilities and generate employment opportunities for individuals in recovery and those experiencing homelessness.
Our focus extends beyond mere employment, emphasizing rehabilitation, housing assistance, and educational advancement for program participants. Moreover, we are committed to providing full insurance and retirement benefits for full-time employees engaged in our comprehensive care and support programs. Through these initiatives, Widows and Orphans United strives to create a sustainable and impactful model for addressing our communities' most vulnerable members' unique needs.
Our objectives include:
-
Community care facilities: We are currently developing a strategic plan to provide housing and care to Elderly and foster children.
-
Thrift Store Initiatives: We are looking for property to launch a series of thrift stores strategically located. These thrift stores will generate supplemental income for our facilities and provide affordable goods to local residents. By fostering a sense of community and support, we will be able to uplift these neighborhoods.
-
Recovery and Homelessness Focus: Recognizing the pressing issue of recovery and homelessness, we have incorporated rehabilitation services into our programs. We offer a helping hand to those in need, guiding them toward recovery, stability, and self-sufficiency.
-
Education Opportunities: As part of our holistic approach, we offer access to higher education and trade school programs. This empowers individuals to acquire valuable skills and knowledge, creating a pathway to a brighter future.
Company Overview
Who We Are
Our Roots
Widows and Orphans, a non-profit organization, is dedicated to addressing the needs of both elderly individuals and foster children through the establishment of dual-purpose facilities. We are actively exploring the creation of thrift stores as an integral component of our program, specifically targeting our communities. These thrift stores will generate additional revenue to support our facilities while concurrently addressing issues related to recovery and homelessness.
The thrift stores will serve as sources of income and as centers for the community. We are committed to providing higher education opportunities to those we serve, enabling them to progress and excel in their lives.
Our strength lies not only in the words we stand by, but most importantly in the actions of our initiatives. From the moment we started our work, we understood that by working together we could overcome our challenges much more efficiently, and that is why we ultimately decided to launch Widows and Orphans. We strive to make a positive change in all of our pursuits.
