Vandelia Church
The project will provide utility and rent assistance to individuals and families who have experienced a sudden increase in expenses or decrease in income in order to prevent a homeless situation.
Across the Street Outreach is a ministry of the Vandelia Church of Christ. The outreach was started in August of 1998. The primary goal of this outreach is to build relationships and provide services that will equip the people in this area to move from dependency to self-sufficiency. These projects include a food pantry, free school supplies, Halloween carnivals, Easter carnivals, Christmas assistance, meals, homeless shelter, summer kid's camp, teen camps, free basketball league for the inner city children, sidewalk Sunday school and a Wednesday night live program that provides a free meal, tutoring, games, mentoring and fun in a safe environment for at risk teens in this area. Across the Street Outreach also helps with bus passes, utility, prescription, and rent assistance as finances allow.
