THE THADDEUS RESOURCE CENTER GOALS
01.
To stop the downward spiral of at-risk and foster youth. We want to reach struggling youth before they become pregnant, homeless, or get involved with drugs and alcohol. By providing them with valuable life, college and career development skills, they will be able to reverse their downward spiral so they can become our future leaders.
02.
To empower, guide, and support women and their families. We want to give teen mothers, single mothers, mothers of children with special needs, and mothers that are just in need the knowledge, confidence, and the opportunity to provide a better life for the next generation.
A NOTE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
Kimmie Umscheid has been working with non-profit organizations for over 20 years, and at-risk youth for over 15 years. Kimmie leads the organization with wisdom that comes from a place of compassion and understanding fueled by her own life experiences. An at-risk youth herself, Kimmie grew up in a home where emotional abuse and torment were rampant. She had a brother with special needs whom she loved that later passed away. Heartbroken, she also had to witness the decline of her father’s health. Lacking guidance and resources, Kimmie was forced to begin supporting herself at the age of 17. She later spent her life as a single mom for 13 years before getting married in 2010 to her husband Neil Umscheid Jr. Her passion for helping others led her to accept the position of Executive Director for The Thaddeus Resource Center in 2014. Kimmie is ecstatic about the direction The Thaddeus Resource Center is taking and cannot wait to see what else God has in store.
