Four Pillars

Our focus is on those that lack access to the basic essentials of life like food and water. By first meeting these life essentials with no expectation of return or long term commitment, we can reach many more people.

 This journey also led us to understand the local issue of food insecurity for many Americans. Even though assistance is available to those lacking the resources to obtain food, many families go without. It is our goal is to work with food banks, community kitchens, restaurants and farmers to provide more nutritious and fresher foods .

 We feel that by first focusing on an individual's hunger and thirst, you have a greater chance of partnership in working with these individuals to help clean the environment.  

With a background in waste, we had a desire to find a cleaner method for treating medical waste generated by the healthcare industry. In this search for a better way, we found that there are communities around the world that live on garbage dumps and are directly affected by this healthcare waste. These "garbage dump" communities are affected by limited safe water access. The waste issue combined with poor sanitation and limited or no access to clean drinking water creates a huge local problem while also contributing to the global issue of disease and waste.

Our experience gives us a unique perspective of waste and inefficiencies. elms 41 co wants to provide a more efficient method to give to non-profit causes while being a champion for its own mission which is to empower individuals, families and communities thru love inspired actions demonstrated to us by Jesus Christ. It is thru these actions that we hope to improve the transparency of giving to these causes which ensures your gifts are used to the fullest potential.

By focusing on education last, we are able to understand the individuals we are wanting help and thus provide the right education that fits the needs of the individual.

By educating individuals on how to grow and prepare their own food, we empower an individual to begin to grow. This education is about life skills that lead to self improvement and that are focused around the individual.

We believe lasting change begins with empowering the individual. By providing resources, encouragement, and opportunities for personal growth, we help people build confidence, develop independence, and realize their potential, while strengthening families and communities along the way.

Imagine someone experiencing homelessness who receives fresh food through our Table 41 Initiative. Beyond meeting an immediate need, we can offer opportunities to participate in community gardens, learn valuable skills, and develop relationships that may lead to employment and greater independence.

Our goal is not simply to provide assistance, but to help individuals discover their abilities, create opportunities, and become active contributors to their communities.
