Neighborhood Ministry
Not a handout, but a hand-up

Our Neighborhood ministry provides assistance to thousands of individuals and urban families living below the poverty level in surrounding neighborhoods. We distribute donated clothing and miscellaneous household items free of charge and also supply holiday food baskets so that families can enjoy these special times together. In addition to meeting physical needs we also minister to spiritual needs through weekly worship services, Bible studies and a monthly "Mother's Club". Our vision is to expand the hours of this outreach to better accommodate working urban families, while also expanding its scope to include parenting and personal finance workshops as well as a variety of support and social groups. With Welfare Reform impacting thousands of Cleveland families, our expanded Neighborhood Ministry will enable us to reach many hurting people of the city who are not part of our residential programs.

Our Clothing Room Evangelism and Ministry Team is highlighted by a weekly worship service on Wednesday mornings for women who shop our no cost clothing room. Children's programming is provided so that guests can participate in worship. Attendance in worship qualifies the women for additional shopping days in the clothing room.

Additional programs for fellowship and nurturing are also offered. These include The Mother's Club, which is a group of women from urban Cleveland who meet for fellowship, Bible study, activities and lunch each month. Some of the participants have been attending faithfully for over 38 years! They enjoy praising the Lord and learning more about the Word of God. Special field trips and holiday food baskets bring a blessing to the lives of these local ladies.

You are welcome to join either of these two groups as they meet on
The City Mission campus at 5310 Carnegie Avenue.
