Dear Broadstreeter:
How do you give thanks to a congregation that stands up for the needs of our neighbors? A group of regular folks, who say there is a better way to treat someone in need. Loving Church members who volunteer thousands of hours so someone can have a better day. Generous donors who surpassed our 2025 fundraising goal while asking us, “What else can I do to help?”
Since those of us who work within the blessings of our Neighborhood Ministries try to embody the phrase, “One Neighborhood. Many Doors”, we prefer to sincerely thank you by shining a light on the many doors you allowed us to keep open:
- Your support of our Food Pantry helped reduce the devastating cuts to SNAP Benefits. Diapers, feminine hygiene supplies, pet food, milk, eggs, and meat filled the bags of nearly 20,000 neighborhood shoppers in 2025.
- Because of your contributions, 597 neighbors were not evicted and over 232 families did not have their heat or water unexpectedly shut off. Our COMPASS Housing Stability Ministry continues to be a valuable partner with the City of Columbus through the Resilient Housing Initiative.
- Without your generous donations, the Bronzeville StrongStart tutoring program would not exist, leaving little chance to change future outcomes for a community where only 10% of students have achieved reading and math proficiency by 3rd grade.
- Thanks to you, our Urban Gardens doubled in size and 350 lbs. of fresh vegetables were harvested for the food pantry by the green thumbs of over 35 volunteers.
- In our 15th year, your contributions served 650 Thanksgiving meals to our neighbors.
- Funding from you allowed us to continue our Ohio Art League partnership and showcase neighborhood artists on our Church walls.
We hope you know how much we treasure your support. With every meal shared, every roof secured, every child succeeding, every hand-held in a moment of crisis, our appreciation for your generosity grows.
Our 2026 goal is to raise $400,000. Your gift today is more than a monetary donation—it’s nourishment, shelter, knowledge, and hope for someone right here in our neighborhood.
We share one beautiful neighborhood. Please help us open our many doors and welcome all to enter.
With deep gratitude,
The Neighborhood Ministries Campaign Committee
