Mission
To insure maximum utilization of resources in the geographical area of Birmingham, Jefferson and surrounding counties by employing all of the resources in the area, including but not limited to, resources available from private charitable sources and from local, state and federal governments to assist in the development of healthy communities and lifestyles, thereby, preventing violence and other at-risk behaviors that lead to unemployment, disease, incarceration and reincarceration, premature death and generational cycles of poverty and economic exclusion.

Vision
The Dannon Project is the “Point of Contact” within the community to provide supportive services, case management and referrals to several at-risk populations, specifically non-violent ex-offenders which will result in permanent employment, housing, improved and sustained health, mentors, counseling, stable families and significantly change poor social behavior patterns

In January of 2005, The Dannon Project purchased an eight-bedroom house with a desire to provide both short- and long-term housing and counseling assistance to persons in transition. The house requires $25,000 in repairs to be fit for housing. Other needs include:

• A computer lab in the home (for job training, preparation and seeking) and skill development
• A multi-functional kitchen
• Two washers/dryers for residents
• State-of-the art security system
