Mission Statement
Our mission is to improve the quality of life in our region
through compassionate service and outreach to our most
vulnerable neighbors by doing together what can best be
done together in the name of Jesus Christ.
n
Service Area
Council of Churches of the Ozarks (CCO) provides
services for 53 counties in Missouri with a focus on
Greene County. Each of the nine Outreach Services
provides critical needs to different niches of our vulnerable
population from children who are hungry to women who
are homeless and the people in between who are on the
margins of our society -- homebound seniors, people with
disabilities, abused and neglected children.
n
Funding
CCO receives funding from diverse sources including
grants (public and private), private donations (individuals,
churches, businesses), contracts, bequests, and
endowments.

Testimonials
“‘We Place People First’ has been our motto from day
one at Penmac, whether through clothing, food, shelter,
transportation or job placement. A large part of that motto
means giving back to the community. My faith is what
drives me to give back, it has always been the guiding
compass of why we do what we do. As a staffing agency
we see the needs in our community - the need for child
care assistance, food, clothing and housing. I support the
Council of Churches because they do so much to help the
people we employ at Penmac.”
