Mission

MAYS MISSION FOR THE HANDICAPPED OFFERS HOPE TO PEOPLE WHOM NO ONE ELSE MAY CARE ABOUT. THE MISSION PROVIDES WORTHWHILE EMPLOYMENT TO HANDICAPPED PERSONS FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE AND TEACHES THE WORD OF GOD IN ACCORDANCE WITH CHRISTIAN ETHICS AND PRINCIPLES. IN ADDITION, MAYS MISSION SPONSORS ACTIVITIES FOR HANDICAPPED CHILDREN; ASSISTS DISABLED ADULTS TO FIND PROPER HOUSING, TRANSPORTATION, OR MEDICAL ATTENTION; AND MAKES GRANTS TO OTHER INSTITUTIONS OR ORGANIZATIONS TO BENEFIT THE HANDICAPPED, SUCH AS HOSPITALS. WHILE MAYS MISSION WILL ASSIST ANY HANDICAPPED INDIVIDUAL TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT POSSIBLE, THE MISSION IS FOCUSED ON SERVING THOSE IN RURAL ARKANSAS AND THE OZARK MOUNTAINS REGION, AN AREA THAT IS GENERALLY ECONOMICALLY DEPRESSED AND SUFFERS FROM A RELATIVELY HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT RATE--HENCE FEW JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE DISABLED. A PRIMARY PURPOSE IS TO HELP HANDICAPPED PERSONS IMPROVE THEIR JOB SKILLS THROUGH ON-THE-JOB TRAINING AND, IN ADDITION, TO CREATE JOBS FOR THEM.
