The statistics above are reflective of our ongoing growth, work and commitment to our mission to serve children and families from a faith-based perspective. We are working hard to recruit more foster parents (caregivers) as the need is great for intervention with families that struggle. The holiday season is often a time where placements increase—due to pressure individuals feel during this time.

Save the Date for our 4th Annual Fundraiser, Thursday, May 1, 2025. We will be celebrating the Superheroes of the Ministry: our foster parents, respite providers, volunteers, teachers, staff, and donors who all contribute in significant ways to serve children and families in our community. We like to make this event celebratory and informative for all who attend to learn more about what we do and how they can help support it financially. We need two event sponsors and $10,000 each and 10 table sponsors at $1000 per table of eight. I am happy to meet with you in 2025 to answer questions and share our vision.

Your generosity toward City Ministries is greatly appreciated and our whole team wishes you a blessed and fruitful New Year!

Blessings,

Executive Director & City Ministries Team
