Every day businesses, community groups and churches decide to partner with Water Street Ministries to change one life at a time. We’re thankful, because every day men, women and children come to us in need.
Community Partners
With gratitude, Water Street Ministries recognizes the following community partners, which are examples of just a few of the blessings we receive every day:
- Water Street Ministries received a grant from the Lancaster County Community Foundation’s Capacity Building Fund. The grant is providing Spanish training for staff of seven partnering community organizations.
The collaborating organizations are: Water Street, Water Street Health Services, Lancaster Bureau of Police, Tabor Community Services Inc., Community Services Group, Lancaster Council of Churches, and Hospice of Lancaster County.
- Instead of birthday presents for her ninth birthday, Maria asked for books to donate to Wonder Club Early Learning Centers! Together with her friends, 69 new books were donated from Wonder Club's wish list! The books will be used to reward students throughout the year, as many of our children don't have books of their own at home.
- Many thanks to Family Chiropractic of Lancaster County, Ltd. for choosing Water Street Ministries as the beneficiary of their 20th Year Celebration and Community Appreciation Event! They raised over $2,000 to benefit the poor and homeless!
- A trunk full of diapers was provided for the Women’s Shelter at the Water Street Mission, thanks to a drive organized by Jeni and Ashton of La Academia: The Partnership Charter School.
