Please note: The information below reflects how our community and neighborhood programs operated pre-pandemic. Most are still operating, but in a modified form. We have chosen to leave this information up so our normal way of operating is still visible and available to our community. For information about our current operations, please see the main Neighborhood Ministry page.
