STOP focuses its efforts on areas impeding the achievement of self-sufficiency among hard-working, low-income wage earners. Several initiatives identified for service delivery include Child Care, Crisis Intervention, Education, Employment, Health, Housing, Nutrition, and Youth Services. STOP recognizes that specific dysfunctions within a family are general indicators of multiple problems; therefore, the “Total Family Concept” is espoused in its service treatment of the problems.

STOP recognizes the need to collaborate with other agencies and organizations to positively impact and change the plight of the economically disadvantaged.
