About Us
Our History
The Mari Program is a 501 (C)(3) non-profit organization that's founded in the loving memory of our loved one Jaemari Anderson who was tragically taken from us on September 6, 2020. Although Jaemari's life ended he will always live on. Jaemari accepted Jesus Christ into his life when he was an adolescent. Jaemari had a heart for giving, Jaemari gave up his time, Jaemari gave his clothes, Jaemari gave up his space for others. When Jaemari would attend church he loved being in the presence of God. One of his favorite gospel songs is by Tasha Cobbs, Gracefully Broken. Because of Jaemari's legacy, we are geared to empower young adults to change their situations by providing housing, employment, transforming their minds for better, and other goals they want to achieve to improve their lives.
