About Agape Helpers
Unconditional Love For The Most Vulnerable
Agape Helpers is a service of New GateWay Solutions Corporation, a nonprofit organization. Agape Helpers provides its services throughout San Diego County.
New GateWay Solutions Corporation’s mission has always been to provide services to the community which are intended to give support to the most vulnerable. Throughout the first 7 years of operation, these services have included homelessness prevention, business startup assistance, employment assistance and alleviation of food insufficiency.
In 2023, New GateWay Solutions, post pandemic, pivoted its service model to provide services through Agape Helpers. The word “Agape” means “unconditional love”, which historically characterized the level of service delivery that the organization provided to its clients. Having assisted many entrepreneurs to start businesses, the organization took action to maintain and grow its small business network and to continue to serve those experiencing food insufficiency.
What We Do
In 2024, Agape Helpers added a service to the senior population of San Diego, when the plight of some ‘orphaned’ seniors came to the organization’s attention. An ‘orphaned’ senior is one who still lives in their home but finds themselves without family members to care for them or for their property. Many are on a fixed income and find themselves physically unable to take care of their yards, repair their home, communicate adequately with their doctors at regular visits, or to prepare healthy meals.
With the help of Agape Helpers’ staff, volunteers and small business network, seniors in San Diego County can now get the help and care that they need, in areas such as:
- Companionship
- Accompany to appointments
- Food/shopping
- Advocacy (as needed)
- Home Repairs
- Lawn maintenance
- Removal of debris
- De-cluttering of home
