Beulah Grove
Community Resource Center
MISSION: Creating and reinforcing
conditions in our community that address the immediate needs of the whole
person, while working with each individual to become self-sufficient.
PHILOSOPHY: Reach One + Teach One + Develop One= One growing in
their purpose and becoming Self Sufficient
HISTORY:
In 1993, the Beulah Grove Baptist Church bought and renovated a notorious
neighborhood night club into the
Beulah Grove Community Resource Center to address the profound mental,
medical, social services, and economic needs of the 30901 zip code communities,
a neglected and depressed area in the heart of Augusta/Richmond County, Georgia.
The purpose of the Center grew out of the needs of the community, the desire and
commitment of the church to be more pro active in providing services to those in
need, and the commitment of other churches, resource providers and agencies to
become willing partners and participants in the planning, funding,
decision-making and acquisition processes.
The Center is 501(c)3 designated as a not-for-profit organization and is
governed by a Board of Directors. Day-to-day agency management is the
responsibility of the Executive Director.
In 1993, the Central Savannah River Area Partnership for Community Health
conducted a health status assessment of a three-county area (Aiken County, South
Carolina, Richmond and Columbia County, Georgia) as one of its initial
activities. This assessment found that the 30901 zip code areas of
Augusta/Richmond County, Georgia had profound incidences of disease, crime,
poverty, limited access to health care, drug and alcohol abuse and a
disproportionate high incidence of mental health inpatient and outpatient
admissions and treatment.
