Why we Serve

Jesus was once asked, “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” He replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.” – Matthew 22:37-39

Born from a deep love for God, Jericho Partnership exists to share the love of Christ by serving our neighbors in Danbury – especially the underserved, the disadvantaged, and the most vulnerable.

Who we Serve

At Jericho Partnership, we are a Christ-centered nonprofit serving Danbury, Connecticut in Fairfield County with compassionate support, practical services, and life-changing programs. Our work is grounded in the commandment to love God and love our neighbors (Matthew 22:37-39) and reflects our belief that every child and family deserves dignity, opportunity, and hope.

We Serve Children, Youth & Families Facing Hardship

Jericho Partnership supports at-risk students and their families, especially those encountering challenges that can disrupt learning, well-being, and stability. These challenges include:

  • Poverty and financial hardship, making basic needs like food, school supplies, and resources difficult to secure

  • Academic struggle and limited access to enrichment support, affecting confidence and school success

  • Unstable home environments, including family stress, housing insecurity, or inconsistent caregivers

  • Language and cultural barriers, making communication and school participation more difficult

  • Food insecurity and hunger, which can negatively impact health, focus, and learning potential

 

Our ministry responds to these needs through a blend of education, mentorship, life skills development, and practical outreach — all delivered with empathy and Christ-like love.

 

We accomplish this through a partnership of churches and other service agencies, practical outreach services, and the generous support of our donors and volunteers.

A Faith-Inspired Mission With Lasting Impact

Jericho Partnership was founded out of a desire to embody the love of Christ through practical service. We walk alongside our neighbors — not just offering programs, but building relationships that foster resilience, purpose, and transformation.
Together with volunteers, families, schools, and churches, we work to remove barriers that limit potential and keep children from thriving in school, at home, and in life.
