Jaspreet Kaur's Company Details
SERVE, Inc. (Securing Emergency Resources through Volunteer Efforts) was founded in 1975 by a group of churches, local organizations and concerned citizens to pool resources and meet emergency needs for families. Since then, we have grown to provide five programs with an annual operating budget of $1.8 million. In 2002, we unveiled a new 3 building facility on a 5 acre campus in Manassas with a 60-bed family care shelter and the largest food distribution warehouse in Northern Virginia. Our custom-designed facility allows us to provide shelter, food, emergency assistance and other services, as well as space for other nonprofits to operate. Today, SERVE continues to help families and individuals in crisis and provide stabilizing support to promote self sufficiency. SERVE employs 22 staff, but relies on over 560 volunteers to provide over 21,000 hours of service as an in-kind contribution of $431,474 to make these programs possible.Programs and ServicesSERVE's 60-bed Family Care Shelter provides 20,000 nights of shelter a year, including 7,000 bed nights for children, along with case management, advocacy, referrals, employment assistance, and life skills development to build self-sufficiency for homeless individuals and families. SERVE's Emergency Assistance Program aids households at imminent risk of utility cut-offs, homelessness, and other crises through emergency financial support, information and referral, and advocacy. SERVE's Food Warehouse provides food for almost 1000 families each month, along with three daily meals to shelter residents 365 days a year. In-kind donations of food total $2 million dollars annually.SERVE's Transitional Housing and Revive Programs help homeless individuals transition to stable long-term housing and help adults exiting detention centers to transition to self-sufficiency by providing housing, employment counseling, educational opportunities, and job training.
