Who We Are
Our Mission
To provide opportunities for economically disadvantaged people to reach their goals in order to enhance their lives, their families, and their communities.
Our Philosophy
Every person needs support from others. People Incorporated promotes the dignity of individuals and families, moves people into the economic mainstream, and works to develop existing strengths and resources within communities. All of our efforts are directed by the concerns, hopes, needs, and dreams of the people we serve.
