Proximity Gap Network – Bringing Hope. Uniting Communities. Helping the One.

Bringing Hope.

Uniting Communities.

Helping the One.

We build pathways for holistic care through proximity, collaboration, and faith, walking alongside local churches and organizations to serve those in crisis and empower sustainable transformation, one person and one community at a time.

We bridge the gap in community care services by partnering with organizations and churches to bring essential resources to those in need.

Compassionate giving

We meet physical, spiritual and emotional needs with love.

Community collaboration

We create a space for churches and nonprofits to work together to serve.

Empowering connections

We build trust, dignity and relationships that change lives.

Imagine someone you love calling a shelter to find a place to sleep for the night only to realize that when they arrive, the bed they were promised was gone and they are turned away along with all hopes of a safe, warm, space to rest for the night. Proximity Gap Network was born out of a desire to bridge the gap of those who want to help and those who need it.

How Do We Serve

We serve through relationships equipping churches and volunteers to walk alongside people in crisis. From the first care call to long-term mentorship, we guide individuals through practical steps and spiritual encouragement, connecting them to what they need to thrive.

How Do I Serve

You can make a difference in someone’s life by simply showing up. Whether you become a mentor, care volunteer, or help at a Proximity Center, your service brings real hope to real people right in your community.

Real stories. Real change.

Transformation happens through connection. One relationship at a time. Whether you’re receiving support, mentoring someone, or serving through a local church, your story matters.

I used to feel invisible. But when my mentor listened, really listened. I felt seen for the first time. Now I have a plan, a job and a community that believes in me.

Walking alongside someone through their struggles reminded me how powerful presence can be. I didn’t need all the answers. I just needed to show up.

Partnering with Proximity Gap Network has reawakened our church’s mission. We’re not just giving, we’re building relationships that reflect the heart of Christ.

How Do I Give

Giving takes many forms and every one makes a difference. You can give financially to support our mission, but you can also give your time, your attention, your wisdom.

Whether through mentorship, care calls or simply being present for someone who feels alone, your gift helps restore hope and build lasting change.
