Mission

Commissary Is Very Necessary, Inc., is a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization providing direct community services and support to community initiatives seeking to improve the quality of life of minority communities. We collaborate with government agencies, grassroots initiatives, schools, families, and individuals in low-income communities. We have developed after-school and summer programs that provide tutoring and mentoring to our young minds. We support Environmental Justice through free community health fairs that educate the community on the relationship between health and the environment and how it is related to underlined health issues in minority communities. And we teach nonprofits about grant acquisition and grant management.
