Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

The organization's mission is: We are guided by our Christian faith to address the impact of poverty and trauma on families with children in Halifax, Northampton, and Warren counties. We do this through advocacy, education, empowerment, and community collaboration.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Empower families to focus on family growth and sustainability using trauma-informed practices and education.

  • Eradicating Generational Poverty: In order to provide immediate assistance to individuals and families in poverty, we provided food boxes for 270 families (944 individuals); for each of these families, we include an intake that gives us information regarding the situation the family is in and resources they are currently accessing so we can ensure they are connected to concrete resources and support. Additionally, we provided school supplies for 650 students, distributed to the five local school systems, to ensure they had the tools they needed to succeed in school. 46,035 meals and snacks were served to supplement food accessible at home or school and to reduce hunger. We also partnered with a local church and Halifax Community College to package 24,000 meals that were distributed to families through 135 organizations in the communities we serve. Taking care of the basic need for food additionally empowers children and families to be able to focus on learning and longer-term needs. 5,532 children had their needs met for Christmas and 6,555 individuals received hygiene supplies. Through our thrift-based facility, the John 3:16 Community Resource Center, we met needs for clothing and/or household items for 651 families in crisis free of charge, offered days that we were open to the public so that low-income families can purchase needed items at a very low price point, and another location to access services for parenting, school supplies, Christmas outreach, and community education. 39 families received financial assistance with bills, paid directly to the service provider.

    Expenses $205,491 · Grants $17,727 · Revenue $77,611

  • Educating Children and Families: We supported educational supports, growth, and development through several programs. Twenty-two students participated in Wired for Success afterschool, receiving educational support, daily meals and snacks, and mentoring. 131 children were registered for Camp J316, who participated over the course of 6 weeks of camp. Camp J316 offered educational and socio-emotional skill building, character development, and recreation at the lake and in the community. Thirteen adults participated in parenting conferences, which included some information on child development. Eleven adults participated in CPR and First Aid training. We provided school supply support for a back-to-school event in Warrenton, partnering with Mag's Marketplace; through this event and our own distributions, we served 650 students. Through our new Roanoke Valley Afterschool Collaborative, we hosted 4 afterschool collaborative events: one on experience-based fundraising events, a two-session grant writing workshop, and a Best of the Valley awards event to recognize programs serving students in our area. Seven collaborative members, in addition to three John 3:16 Center staff, attended the NC Center for Afterschool Programs Synergy conference in November. They reported feeling more connected, appreciation for the resources highlighted, and excited about opportunities for networking and support.

    Expenses $186,084 · Grants $5,059

  • Deepening Community Engagement: We worked to ensure our programs were present in some manner in each of the three counties we served, delivering food and educational materials to community partner sites for distribution. At least 271 individuals engaged in recreational activities through our programs and facilities and we began construction to add pickleball and tennis courts. Additionally, we regularly met both in person and virtually with community organizations and worked together to meet significant needs that one organization alone could not address. 318 referrals were sent to other organizations with which we coordinate for services we do not provide. Our staff team also attended twenty community events and networking opportunities in order to support our connections within our region and beyond.

    Expenses $136,817 · Grants $11,833

  • Eradicating Child Abuse and Neglect: In 2025, fifteen parents participated in sessions of the Positive Parenting Program or the more informal "Table Talk", receiving 2 hours each of education and parenting support. Additionally, four staff completed training in the Incredible Years in order to provide another form of parenting education and support that better meets the needs of some parents. 6 people received Connections Matter training in-person; this curriculum provides information on the effects of childhood trauma on brain development as well as the mitigating effects of resilience and positive connections to better prepare community members to respond appropriately to trauma. This is demonstrated to reduce the effects of trauma and the incidence of adverse childhood experiences. Training was provided to 28 staff, board members, and volunteers on recognizing and responding to child abuse and neglect and/or preventing child sexual abuse. We planted three "pinwheel gardens" in recognition of child abuse prevention month in April--one at each of our primary facilities and a community garden. The community gardens included 512 pinwheels to draw attention to the number of substantiated cases of child abuse and neglect reported in that county during 2024. We provided information on prevention of child maltreatment via social media, parent support through phone calls and social media, and coordinated with local agencies to meet needs in our community. We provided concrete supports described in other program areas to reduce stress and lower the likelihood of maltreatment. 5 of our staff also attended the summit hosted by Positive Childhood Alliance of NC in order to ensure information was shared throughout our staff team.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
