What We Do

Since 1974, CA Foundation has led the effort to make the communities we serve better for everyone.

Christian Associates has been serving the community for over 50 years.  When the founding members first met in 1974, they knew they were creating a unique charitable organization that started with a simple mission of helping nonprofits in the community become sustainable and to identify needs in the community and come up with solutions. Over the years, this concept grew, eventually resulting in the establishment of the Stone County Library, the Senior Center, the Stone County Health Department, Harbor House Domestic Violence Center, and the counties first mobile food pantry. To make all of this possible, Christian Associates operates Thrift Stores in Branson West, and Nixa, Missouri. Each store also serves the community by providing assistance to residents who have lost everything in fires, floods and tornados – a ministry within a ministry.

“Change takes place when there is hope. Christian Associates offers hope every day in everything we do. Hope is Change.”

— Larry Leek, President & Chief Executive Officer
