The mission of C4 Impact - Aiken is to be a transformative force in the lives of the homeless, the recovering, and those reentering from incarceration by meeting immediate needs, fostering hope, and guiding them into a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ. We equip individuals and families with the resources, support, and truth they need to break cycles of poverty, addiction, and incarceration - to build new lives of purpose, freedom, and faith.

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” - Jeremiah 29:11 ESV
