Community Ministries

Established in 1997, Community Ministries has been meeting the needs of local residents who are not homeless but who have limited financial resources to provide for their families. Food Boxes, clothing, household items and appliances (all donated to GRM by the community) are distributed free to those who have needs. Bilingual Chapel Services are held on Saturday mornings to meet the spiritual needs of our neighbors. Kid's Club is offered on Saturday morning for neighborhood kids and provides care for the children when parents attend the Bilingual Chapel Service. Kid's Camp is the highlight of Kid's Club. Good Shepherd is our mobile outreach ministry distributing food and clothing to the street homeless and homeless camps on Saturday.

Community Ministries is located at 338 W. 28th Street. (Click here for map and directions)
