As South Street has pivoted the priorities of the Front Porch, we must reconfigure the space to better serve our neighbors — advocating for the most vulnerable, supporting children and families in tangible ways, continue our racial-reconciliation efforts, and more.

In order to do this, we must raise our December budget plus an additional $50,000 by December 31, 2020 — to cover:

1. Hiring an Operations Director and Café Staff.
2. Improvements and updates for our sound system, projector, café items, and more.
3. The support of additional staff members to support our growing Reentry outreach.
4. All aspects of our continued ministry programs and keeping them on solid footing as we head into 2021.

This new and re-envisioned Front Porch can become a hub of healing for a community that’s hurting.

Please help us walk boldly into the new year sharing Christ’s love with a community in need. Your FRONT PORCH FORWARD gift to South Street today — by 12/31 — will be a blessing to many.

Thank you for connecting those in South Akron and Summit Lake to God’s grace!
