Opportunity Details
PROPER Thanksgiving Feast (age 16+) Referral
The heart of the PROPER organization’s mission lies in empowering a community to utilize its own internal resources to create positive development and economic growth.
About the Program
PROPER was founded in 1990 by Apostle E. D. Mondainé of Celebration Tabernacle Church as a community enhancement organization in Portland, Oregon. It affects hundreds of people annually. Within the next 5 years PROPER will continue to expand its time-tested model of internal community involvement into other cities throughout the United States.
Proper depends on our neighbors to support our mission of uniting community across all lines. We receive support from local businesses, community foundations, individual donors, and volunteers. If you or your organization would like to get involved with Proper, we look forward to speaking with you.
Proper is committed to a diverse Kenton as part of our greater mission. Like all Proper events, the Proper Thanksgiving Feast is a safe space for all community members, regardless of race, class, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity, ability, nation of origin, age, or religion.
