Who we are:
C.A.M.P. was founded in 1968 as a coalition
of local churches and quickly grew in
support from the business community, civic
and social groups, and caring individuals.
Originally a small clothing distribution
center, our organization has grown into a
multi-faceted agency offering emergency
assistance with food, clothing, and
financial aid to thousands of our neighbors
each year. Our mission continues today with
a small dedicated staff and a compliment of
over 150 devoted volunteers.
