History 

           

In March, 2018, a few pastors within Port Huron Southside community became aware of a grassroots organization Detroit Regional Interfaith Voice for Equity  within the  Detroit Tri-County Area, that organized a coalition of faith-based and civic organizations in conjunction with the “War on Poverty” Initiative, who had a desire to see evidenced, action-based change in their communities. These pastors begin to come together with other leaders of shared concerns and values.  Building on the D.R.I.V.E.  Model, In April, 2018 SCCORE begin to meet bi-monthly to once every three weeks to build relationships,  with the intent to identify areas they could begin to assist St. Clair County . and its impoverished, underserved, community.

           

SCCORE appointed an acting executive staff to give life to its vision.  The core group begin to reach out to other like-minded pastors, church members, and individuals in the community.  The growing group has grown from four committed persons to approximately ten to twelve, which represent at least seven churches and three organizations in the Port Huron Area is, and it is growing. The group soon realized it’s need to “name the baby”. Vacillating between  St. Clair County Organizing for Regional Equity (S.C.C.O.R.E),and All Churches and Community Workers Uniting Their Efforts (A.C.C.U.T.E).   The group voted to adopt the name SCCORE and determined to structure SCCORE as a 501C3 nonprofit, which effectively September 2018 Sccore started its process to become 501(C3) Non-profit Organization:
