The Vision

"To relieve the emotional, nutritional, relational and financial distress of every older adult in our nation, restoring self-respect with
Purposeful Living."

The Mission

"As a Christian Community Developer we source land throughout our nation to develop into fully functional, 'resident ready' G3 Villages.
Our mission is to provide independent living for older adults
that wish to live in a rental community where the residents
embrace aging successfully with purpose."

Joanne Hickox
President / CEO

 
The Why, What and How...
 

WHY WE DO IT... Then came COVID… Joanne, our CEO, was horror struck when she realized that seniors and many others were locked down in homes with isolation, depression, nutritional and financial distress. That was the spark for her next God mission, 'Purposeful Living' and the vision for a G3 Village was born.

WHAT WE DO...We Champion for the forgotten middle... at one end seniors with low-income receive HUD housing help and attention. At the other end seniors with higher incomes, can ably pay for upscale retirement living. But those with modest to moderate incomes are squeezed from view, they are unseen, unheard, and some can barely afford the homes they live in, with no one rallying to help them, until now...

HOW WE DO IT... We are a Christian Community Developer, we find plots of land, throughout the nation, of 20+acres and develop them into a 'G3 Village'. When built, a G3 Village is operated by a local staff team and its residents, as a self-sustaining, regenerative, independent living community.

We engage on three levels:
1: Through people who connect with us via our social media, or newsletter subscription, then spread our ministry and pray for us.

2: Through 'Ministry Giving Champions' who cover our home office operating costs.

3: Through 'Village Legacy Champions' who assist finding and obtaining land then with building out site specific areas of a G3 Village.

A Must Read: Joanne's Book

The American Dream is killing our senior population. We sold them a lie: Work hard, buy a home, retire, and rest on the porch. But that porch has become a prison. Isolated in aging homes they can’t maintain, eating processed food alone, our seniors are dying of isolation and loneliness.

"Me & G3" is the story of how one woman—a Hollywood accountant turned accidental missionary—discovered that the cure for aging isn't rest; it's Purposeful Living.

This is not just a memoir; it is a spiritual odyssey spanning 63 years. The story of Joanne, a Canadian farm girl who tried to run from her roots only to realize they were her saving grace.
