Breaking Barriers was created to fill in all the places in peoples lives that doctors and hospitals couldn't help with.

Eventually, as the program developed and became stronger at getting people to where they needed to be, dealing with preventing HIV became something that was a large priority in the community and hence for us. The Breaking Barriers Prevention Program works with those most at risk for HIV and those who are already living with the virus to stop the transmission to people who don't have it and help those who do live healthy lives.

In 2000 Breaking Barriers split off from the Church and became its own organization. Around that same time there was a large need beginning within the communities of Breast Cancer for the same sorts of services we provided to HIV and the Breaking Barriers Breast Cancer Assistance Program was born. Breaking Barriers provides transportation to medical appointments and treatment navigation. This is all done through the generous help of volunteers through giving of their time, energy or financial resources.
