M.O.R.E. The intent of MORE is to connect people with their neighbors and with resources through a service delivery system that is shaped and operated by the poor. MORE's key goal is to help establish within poor communities an ability to be self-sufficient which translates into minimized dependence on social programs. By linking neighbors to each other , they help themselves, each other and build a sense community all at the same time. Since neighbors play such a critical role in providing the services, MORE Neighborhood College is the training mechanism to orient neighborhood volunteers to the procedures and resources which allow them to serve their fellow neighbors. The beauty of MORE is that it relies on the talents and leadership of the same individuals it exists to help - the residents of the service areas .
