MISSION: FEED, CLOTHE, HEAL
Our mission is based on Matthew 25:35-36 “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me.”
CHO has fed the hungry, clothed the needy, and healed the sick since 1988.
