The Vision

"To relieve the emotional, nutritional, relational and financial distress of every older adult in our nation, restoring
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

Joanne Kraemer Hickox was a high-flying Hollywood auditor when God began to rewrite her script. Through a series of life-altering events, from Canadian farm roots to California earthquakes and a humbling bankruptcy she learned that the most important role we can play is the one God designs for us.

G3 & me is the inspiring true story of how one woman's "yes" birthed a movement. Discover how a small group of seniors grew into a mission that has provided over 164,000 hours of service and $4 million in community value.

Inside, you'll find the blueprint for the G3 Village—revolutionary approach to aging that replaces isolation with purpose, and loneliness with community. It’s time to realize that you aren't done yet. You aren't just aging; you are being prepared for your greatest season of fruitfulness.

You are not needy. You are NEEDED.
