About the HALO Foundation
Our Foundation
The HALO Foundation, Hope Always Lives On, was launch in March of 2004. This is the message that we wish to convey. There is always hope! We are in the process of establishing this Foundation to receive a 501(c)3 status.
Our Mission
Our mission is to offer HOPE to the afflicted through the generosity of Service & Charity, involving intergenerational support from seniors to children. We will respond to individual and group needs and crisis with deliberate thought, prayer, organization, and action. We serve our mission through HALO programs and support of like-minded organizations.
