Dignity From Day One
Located at the corner of 24th and Binney Streets, it’s a crossroads in many ways. A pin in the map for those experiencing a critical time in their lives. Just follow the hundreds of cars on food distribution days. Visit our healthcare clinic and have your medical, dental, vision, and mental health needs met. Get your family’s laundry done. Put a plan together with our A Way Forward team. Prepare for job placement on the path to self-sufficiency. The Heart Ministry Center is always a place of welcome and above all, dignity.
So Many Reasons to Visit Us
For some families, a trip to the Heart Ministry Center can include medical, dental or vision visits, case management or social work services, and even a chance for legal advice, tax preparation, financial workshops and job placement – offered in multiple languages. We’re blessed with many volunteers who offer their services to help others in need – regardless of what that need may be.
