The Basket Food Pantry
The Basket is a food program that serves approximately 150 families per week, and distributes over 16,000 boxes of food annually, giving groceries that will feed a family for three to five days. CareCenter employs a three-tiered biblical approach to its food distribution for the purpose of strengthening the hand of the poor rather than enabling them.
Race Program
The Race program is a one-year residential program for men with life-controlling problems, such as alcohol and substance abuse; also, those who have behavioral dysfunctions or a criminal history. The Race program goes beyond treatment; it is a program of discipleship, including a faith-based, 12-step program.
Tree of Life Women's Refuge
The Tree of Life is a one-year residential program for battered and addicted women that provides refuge, training and a faith-based, 12-step program. The program also includes refuge for single-mothers and their children providing shelter, support, advocacy, education, and resources needed to live independent lives free from addiction and violence.

ACTS
ACTS focuses on specific apartment complexes in the Pleasant Grove area. Our vision for these families is to provide them with an assortment of programs that will help transform their community. As a result of relationships developed with apartment owners and managers, CareCenter has established a level of trust that has enhanced our effectiveness within these complexes.
Community Center
The CareCenter Community Center provides a nurturing environment for our community where youth can find faith-based activities that seek to promote positive development through relationship, mentorship and discipelship. We seek to empower the youth through services including After-School Program, summer and holiday camps, sports leagues and mentorship curriculum.
Overcomers
Overcomers is a Christ centered 12-step program that began in the mid-1980s when a young man, who was newly clean and sober, wanted to reach out to fellow addicts and show them the freedom he had found in Christ. Since that time, the group has grown into an international ministry that is still reaching those caught in the vise of life controlling issues. Overcomers curriculum is used in the Race and Tree of Life Programs, as well as an outreach resource to individuals in our community.
Freedom Outreach
Freedom Outreach Ministries is committed to fulfilling the mandate of Christ in Matthew 25:36, which says “I was in prison and you came to me.” Discipleship and Life Skill classes are taught weekly at several units. The goal is to help men become the Men of God that Jesus has always intended for them to be. Anointed singing and preaching the truth from the Word of God results in changed lives that God uses while the men are incarcerated and when released from prison.
