Good News Club Ministries International, Inc. was organized in response to concern for the number of young people in the Haitian Community who were becoming involved in the criminal justice system as offenders. We soon realized that this was caused by the lack of parental supervision and lack of programs in minority communities that could hold the attention of these young people, and direct their
energy into positive and beneficial activities. In hope of decreasing those numbers, Good News Club has committed to developing youth programs that would encourage the young people to use their gifts and talents in positive endeavors, and give them the possibility of fulfilling their aspirations. For years Good News Club Ministries has provided a safe place for youth and children to socialize where they may engage in positive activities which promote community involvement in performance arts and cultural affairs, thereby increasing their self confidence and social interaction. Moreover, Good News Club Ministries has changed and evolved since its inception from a youth oriented organization to become a community agency, and has continued to expand, develop, and integrate its services to better address the complex challenges facing our service population. Consequently, in 2004, the organization re-organized and incorporated as a 501(c) (3) non-profit corporation, offering a wide range of social services and on-going educational and recreational programs. For the past years, Good News Club Ministries "MYGNC Community Outreach Program" has ensured that lower income residents of our community can obtain needed food, clothing, and other essentials. Last year MYGNC Community Outreach Program" filled 610 emergency food requests; distributed 350 holiday food baskets; assisted 55 families with budgeting, fuel, eyeglasses, diapers, clothing, transportation, & counseling; provided 200 kids with school supplies; and helped to make Christmas possible for over 150 families. MYGNC Community Outreach Program provides emergency intervention and referral services, and arranges for on-going counseling, outreach and advocacy for those in need. We work closely with a number of area agencies to provide coordinated and comprehensive services. Our Mission Statement:Good News Club Ministries is dedicated to help improve the quality of life in our community by providing services and innovative programs that address the needs of youth & families.
