About Us
WHO WE ARE
JC Cares is a faith based 501c3 non-profit organization in Easley, South Carolina. The ministry was birthed out of The Dream Center of Pickens County and was originally located in their facility. The individuals who are walking through our doors are unable to afford biblical counseling due to their economic hardship. JC Cares wants to overcome this obstacle and provide the hurting with hope....because we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to be healed and set free by the love and power of Jesus Christ.
We also observe people who were willing to work but who have obstacles to employment. JC Cares overcomes those obstacles through our work program, JC Works. We provide transportation, short work shifts, and on the job training. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to be diligent and productive.
THE NEED
A recent survey of our clients has highlighted the vital role our biblical counseling ministry must play:
-
81% have struggled with depression
-
45% have been physically abused
-
36% have battled eating disorders
-
45% have been sexually abused
-
42% have struggled with drug or alcohol use
-
41% have attempted suicide
We can empower people to get back on their feet financially, but if we do nothing to help heal deep emotional wounds and walk with them on a journey of healing from past pain, then the stability we are hoping for will not be achieved.
GOAL
Our vision is to see men and women no longer defined or controlled by the pain and trauma of their past nor brought down by the difficulties of the present; but walking one day at a time empowered by the living God with a family of believers walking beside them.
We want to see the economically disadvantaged thrive as they turn the page from dependence and mere survival to a new chapter of diligence and productivity as valued members of our community.
