Our Mission

Together, we can do more.

FOCUS is five covenant churches, four faith affiliates, and two faith partners, doing together what we cannot do alone.

United in a common calling to respond to our neighbor's needs in the city of Albany and beyond, as God's servant people, in a broken and hurting world.

2024 was a year of great successes and also transitions at FOCUS. Read our 2024 End of Year Report to learn more.

  • “It’s a very good place to invest our dollars, our time, our talents, our gifts of all kinds. I hope my giving makes a difference by making a neighbor’s life a little easier, a little more secure, a little more meaningful, and a little more hopeful.”

    J.M., FOCUS Donor

  • “It’s just a very uplifting experience. I really get a lot out of it. It’s sometimes the best three hours of my week and I would not miss it. FOCUS has definitely made me more cognizant, empathetic and sympathetic to what people deal with.”

    L.H., FOCUS Volunteer

  • “I just think FOCUS is like a home, a home for me and for the rest of the community that seeks its shelter, seeks its comfort. It’s so inviting and safe. They open the doors to everybody, no matter your lot in life. It’s a really rare place to find in this world, where you’re truly welcome without any kind of strings attached.”

    B.H., FOCUS Guest
