We have had the delight of introducing
some youth groups to the ministry. As we have become more known in the community, we have
had an increase participation of students and youth groups who want to share their energy
and talents to make the community a better and safer place. This has been a rewarding
experience for all involved. Each year there are over seven hundred shoeboxes filled with
gifts for the homeless made by students from different schools. This program
provides the homeless with the knowledge that people care about them and it provides young
people with a valuable experience in charity which may encourage them to do more in
the future.
