History

BGr8 Inc. /be great/ is passionate about the fight to prevent homelessness in our backyard and beyond. The smallest change in life can cause anyone to find themself homeless. Ultimately our goal is to aid families in the pre-homeless stage. This is often experienced through various ways such as not having electricity, no running water, lack of proper clothing, or not having food. Basically the lack of essential human needs can describe homelessness. At different points life both Kenneth and Crystal experienced homelessness in some form, which forced them to rely on the kindness of strangers, for survival. Through God's grace and the help of the community, they vowed to "pay it forward". Countless hours have been dedicated to volunteerism and donating to the less fortunate in an effort to give back. The experience of homelessness gives a different perspective on how a person can get to that point in life. BGr8 Inc. is passionate about providing others with the skills to obtain meaningful careers and the resources to aid them in the prevention of homelessness.
