About Mission ABQ
Serving Albuquerque's International District and South Valley since 1999.
Our mission
Mission ABQ is a non-profit organization, established in 1999, to bring hope to a community in need, helping people turn the corner from a place of need to a place of service to others. We do this by 1) Meeting people at their point of need (meeting real and felt needs), 2) Providing education and training in areas of need to bring individuals to a place of health and wholeness, and 3) Empowering people to care for and meet the needs of others.
