KARM’s Mission

To restore lives of our homeless neighbors through Christ-centered support.

Since 1960, KARM’s volunteers, donors and staff have answered the call to restore lives in Jesus’ name. We pursue this mission using the same ministry formula Jesus used:

Rescue + Relationships = Restoration 

He rescued us. He longs for a relationship with us. He uses that rescue and growing relationship to restore us to God, to self, to family and to community.

KARM’s Core Values

  • Biblically Grounded
  • Steadfast Collaboration
  • Inward & Outward Minded
  • Dignity Always

“To bear sins means to go where the sinner is…to devote oneself to his recovery and follow him with ceaseless ministry, knowing he cannot be recovered without his consent…and his consent may be indefinitely withheld.”.
