The Other Way Ministries

Our Youth Employment Services (Y.E.S.) Program teens have received their training and are well into their time completing summer internships at local businesses! ✅
Y.E.S. provides teens with meaningful work experience, career exploration, life skills training, and opportunities to grow personally and professionally. Thank you to Blandford Nature Center , John Ball Zoo, and Bridge Street Market for being our local business partners to join us in pouring into these young people this year! One of our previous Y.E.S. teens said this about their experience: "My favorite part was going on field trips and touring different colleges and trade schools that I could potentially attend after graduating from high school. It helped me explore different career and education options for my future."
We are excited to see these teens soar!🙌

🛒 Rising inflation and higher food prices make food pantries more critical than ever for our community. Our food pantry supports more than 900 West Side neighbors each month, providing fresh fruits, vegetables and much more to help families move forward with hope.
THIS Saturday, June 20, is Double Match Day, meaning when you purchase a $10 donation card at Bridge Street Market, Meijer will triple your gift, turning it into $30. All funds will go directly toward stocking our food pantry so West Siders can stock theirs.
