COPPER COUNTRY ANGEL MISSION AT A GLANCE
Copper Country Angel Mission knows that our strength lies not only in the words we stand by, but most importantly through the actions of our initiatives. Back in 2000, a small group of like-minded individuals realized that by working together we could efficiently and effectively help to overcome the effects of poverty locally, and that is why we ultimately decided to launch New Beginnings Angel Mission.
Since that time, we have grown and changed our name, but our mission is the same: Copper Country Angel Mission promotes community welfare by serving those in need with compassion and dignity.
