Ieshia Demas Ministries Community Outreach Program is based on Acts 2o:35 and Isaiah 58:10. Our outreach program comprises several outreaches that we perform throughout the year. Those outreach programs include; our “Baby Love Program”, “Toy Giveaway Program”, “Turkey Basket Program”, “Backpacks for Success Program”, “Winter Warmers Program”, “Parent/ Adult Education Program”, and "Summer and Afterschool Enrichment Program". Through these various outreaches, we provide charitable giving, educational programming, and empowerment to members of homeless and underserved communities and the general public. Our Outreach Program aims to create positive change and enhance the lives of families in homeless and underserved communities.
