About DayBreak

Mission:

Our mission is to make an impact in Lincoln Heights with the message of Jesus Christ.

Who We Are:

DayBreak was founded in 2001 by a group of young adults from McLean Bible Church who fell in love with the inner city community and wanted to make a difference in the name of Jesus Christ. Today, eight years later, DayBreak is a Christian organization dedicated to serving the children, families and individuals on an on-going basis in the community of Lincoln Heights in northeast Washington, DC. We focus on five key areas aimed at helping individuals know God and live abundant lives in Jesus Christ. Those five areas are the following:

Mentoring
Education
Evangelism
Training
Loving Your Neighbor

Who We Serve:

Lincoln Heights is a low-income housing community in the northeast quadrant of Washington, DC. There are 440 units in the community and approximately 1,500 individuals. In 2006, medium household income was $23,974, and the majority of the households are headed by single parents typically females. The community is plagued with drugs, violence, and crime, and individuals living in Lincoln Heights have great physical and spiritual needs.

In addition to Lincoln Heights, DayBreak serves a neighboring community, Richardson Dwellings. Some of the residents there participate in our large outreach events each year. One day, we hope to provide similar services to Richardson Dwellings as we currently do in Lincoln Heights.
