The Other Way Ministries

Food assistance: a three-tiered approach to food assistance geared toward food sovereignty: 1. Emergency food pantry: availabile 5 days per week for low income households for weekly use, with emphasis on health, choice, and dignity for all of our neighbors. Resource assistance and referall also provided to address other needs. 2. Agape food co-op: community of neighbors who meet regularly and receive additional, more targeted assistance with food and household product needs determined by members themselves. A nominal membership fee is charged to offset costs and is set by members themselves. 3. Fresh market: retail space selling fresh, local produce at 50% discount for income-qualifying neighbors. Snap benefits are accepted.

Family/community development: several other programs are offered to support our community at no cost, including: a daily after school program for neighborhood elementary students, weekly teen club, summer youth workforce development program, a men's group, christmas store, mental health/ counseling services, a community garden, and other resource assistance and referrall services.
