About Our Organization
Our Mission
We touch the lives of people in our community by providing transitional housing, practical tools and helpful resources to all to achieve self-sufficiency.
Our Vision
Our vision is to be an outreach arm of strength and support to the less fortunate in the community, to improve the lives of those that are affected by adversity, and to empower the less fortunate with life-changing skills for future success.
Our Story
Twenty years ago, the Champion family had several buildings that were not in use on 20 acres of property owned by the True Deliverance Church of God. These buildings had been part of the Victory Drug Center that was opened decades earlier as a spiritual restoration and residence for those seeking healing from their addiction to drugs. The Champions had a vision to continue the work that Felicia Champion’s father had started and to renovate the buildings to further help the community. Community Touch, Inc. began in these buildings to offer ministry and outreach to the local community.
In November 2001, Community Touch opened Clara’s Faith House Food Pantry to help feed the hungry. In May 2003, it opened Victory Transitional Housing, which has the capacity to house up to 40 homeless people. In October 2004, Noah’s Ark was opened on the same campus to provide free clothing, furniture and household items to those in need. Community Touch responded to needs in the community and filled a void as one of the only homeless shelters in the County, and the only nonprofit in the area meeting so many specific needs in so many tangible ways.
In April 2009, Community Touch opened its first retail store to raise funds to support the other outreach programs. Noah’s Ark Thrift Store began in a shopping center in Bealeton to meet the needs of low to middle income community members who sought to purchase affordable furniture and clothing. All proceeds from the retail store benefitted the mission and vision of Community Touch. That retail store eventually relocated to Marshall.
Dr. T. Tyronne & Felicia Champion lead with compassion and have a passion to fulfill the purpose and mission of Christ by helping, serving and loving our neighbors as we love ourselves.
Today, all outreach missions of Community Touch are working hard and thriving to serve our local communities.
