JUMP's mission is "To promote the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of people by providing compassionalte care, direct assistance to meet basic needs, and advocacy."

JUMP's Core Values:

Every Person: We respect the value and dignity of every human life, and work to make every interaction at JUMP one that is positive for all.

Interfaith: As an interfaith organization, we honor the faith journey of all JUMP clients, volunteers, and staff. We value diverse spiritual perspectives and work together to maintain a strong ministry.

Collaboration: JUMP collaborates with many denominations, congregations, and social service agencies to provide necessary financial and human resources.

Advocacy: We understand the importance of our services to each individual while recognizing that these services are not a solution to poverty in our community. Therefore, we tell JUMP's story in our congregations and in the wider community to encourage advocacy for systemic changes.
