We are grateful for our American Baptist Family and appreciate the relationships that have grown over the years with American Baptist Churches USA, American Baptist Churches of Ohio, and the Mahoning Valley Baptist Association. Many children and families have been blessed by the giving of many churches through the White Cross and Care and Share programs. Heart Reach Neighborhood Ministries has also been the recipient of funding through the America for Christ offering and One Great Hour of Sharing and countless hours have been spent volunteering, providing needed programs and services for families in need.

We partner with a number of churches, nonprofits and businesses to feed children when school is not in session. This program is provided through an agreement with the Ohio Department of Education as part of the USDA SFSP program.

Summer residential camps
Each summer we are blessed to be able to send between 70 - 100 children to a week of residential Church Camp. Our camp partners, Camp Carl in Ravenna and Koinonia Camp and Conference Center in Geneva, open their camps and their hearts to transform the lives of our children.

The Youngstown YMCA has been a strong partner for many years. Many of our children learn to swim at the YMCA and the recreational opportunities offered have helped our children learn about teamwork, good conduct and social skills that will carry them far in life.
