 After
much prayer and seeking of God’s will, CityTeam
Ministries opened the Chester, Pennsylvania location
in 1989 with a one-day-a-week feeding program where
we helped to provide hundreds of meals a year. Since
that small beginning, we have renovated and expanded
and currently provide in excess of 63,000 meals a
year.
Our ministry has grown to include many services to
the poor and disadvantaged such as a Shelter for the homeless,
a residential 12-30 month Drug & Alcohol Recovery Program,
an Adult Clothes Closet, an nightly Feeding Program, monthly Emergency Food Box Program, a Mother & Baby Program where
the essentials of early childhood
needs are met, Compass Academy for adult learners, and our newest outreach, CityTeam Disaster Relief Ministry.
CityTeam understands that simply meeting the felt
needs of an individual is not enough. Living in the
most prosperous nation in the world today does not
automatically alleviate poverty. Although there are
many poor living among us, poverty is not always
for things or food or shelter. Many suffer from the
poverty of lovelessness, from rejection, and lack
of significance. The LORD addresses all of these
needs in people’s lives,
and CityTeam reaches out to all who come through our
door in Jesus’ name, offering love and hope and
acceptance. Whether you are a recipient of our services
or a volunteer looking to make a difference, you are
welcome to become a part of our family.
