Celebrate. We share testimonies of progress, always with consent, to inspire and encourage others.
Programs
One network, many ways to grow
PraiseCanvas Family Experience
Children, youth and families
A creative weekend of music, writing, design, and African art and culture, themed “Created to Testify.”
Families make music, write songs and stories, design and create art together, then share it at a joyful family showcase that celebrates gratitude and God’s goodness.
Marriage and Family Early Support
Couples, families and church leaders
A digital toolkit and training to help families notice early warning signs and find help sooner.
Couples learn to recognize early signs of strain, church leaders learn to respond with care, and families are connected to qualified counselors and specialists. TCNi provides support and referral, not therapy.
Nourish Mobile
Neighbors in Buffalo and Erie County
A mobile market bus bringing fresh, affordable food to neighborhoods far from grocery stores.
Each stop, at senior housing, churches and community centers, also offers resource navigation, wellness information and connection to TCNi programs.
Financial Empowerment
Families and young professionals
Practical financial education, planning and support, in partnership with a licensed CPA.
Families learn to budget, save and plan for future generations, because financial stability strengthens marriages, families and communities.
