The Ascension CDC is a non-profit organization that focuses on providing services to children, families and the elderly throughout the South Dade community. As a faith-based social service agency in the South Dade area we provide opportunities for seniors, children and families to connect, participate, learn and become empowered to live healthier lives. The Ascension CDC has been serving the families of the South Dade that struggle with poverty, limited resources and education challenges for years. In partnership with the Collie Edison & Willie T. Coats Foundation, Inc. Ascension CDC provides an intergenerational approach which allows seniors, youth and children the opportunity to experience artistic expression, personal and social development, cross cultural and multicultural education, health, nutrition and fitness during an annual summer camp. Ascension CDC also provides information and referral services through the Ask Seek and Knock Ministry (Matthew 7:7). Our intentions are to constantly be aware of the needs in our surrounding communities and to tailor our approach to positively influence it’s social welfare and health. As an outreach ministry, The Ascension CDC is quite inclusive and we are always seeking to grow through volunteerism and charitable generosity.
