Supporting Heartside Ministry

Though we yearn for a society characterized by fairness, where the dis-empowered are cherished and encouraged, we live in time and place where this is often not the case. Too many people slip through the cracks, because of mental disorder, disability, addiction and traumatic experience; Heartside Ministry welcomes these people. We work diligently to minister to and empower the disenfranchised; our programs and services are geared towards this end. Your contributions directly supports this essential work. Some of the many programs and services that are made possible through the ongoing generous support of donors like yourself include:

• Heartside Ministry's Benevolent Fund, which is used primarily for emergency aid, for persons working with our advocacy office.
• Our GED & adult education program
• Our pottery & general studio arts programs

For more information about the programs and services offered by the ministry, please refer to the programs heading or take a look at our weekly schedule and recent announcements. If you are interested in supporting the work of the ministry, you can securely donate on-line through the Network for Good (see the button to the right) or checks or money orders may be mailed to (see our printable donation form):
