Versacare Foundation is an independent, self-funded lay organization that has been supporting Seventh-day Adventist ministries and select humanitarian efforts with financial grants since 1990. Comprised of lay Adventists and current and former Adventist church employees, its mission is to further the Kingdom of God and restore the “image of God” in those in need.
