Committed to bringing the love of Christ to those in need, we are excited to share our progress and future aspirations with you. Mean Street Ministry (MSM) is a nonprofit, multi-denominational Christian outreach ministry that aims to bring transformation in the lives of the broken through outreach and building relationships. We are dedicated to bringing the love of Christ to those who feel disconnected from family, community and God. We elevate the poor, heal the broken and provide a safe environment for lay Christians to be the hands and feet of Jesus.<p style="-webkit-user-drag:none;margin:0px 0px 10.6667px;padding:0px;user-select:text;overflow-wrap:break-word;white-space:pre-wrap;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;vertical-align:baseline;font-kerning:none;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit"> <div><p style="-webkit-user-drag:none;margin:0px 0px auto;padding:0px;user-select:text;overflow-wrap:break-word;white-space:pre-wrap;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;vertical-align:baseline;font-kerning:none;text-align:left;text-indent:0px">Dear Mean Street Ministry Friends and Family, </div><div><p style="-webkit-user-drag:none;margin:0px 0px auto;padding:0px;user-select:text;overflow-wrap:break-word;white-space:pre-wrap;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;vertical-align:baseline;font-kerning:none;text-align:left;text-indent:0px"> </div><div><p style="-webkit-user-drag:none;margin:0px 0px auto;padding:0px;user-select:text;overflow-wrap:break-word;white-space:pre-wrap;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;vertical-align:baseline;font-kerning:none;text-align:left;text-indent:0px">We wanted to reach out and give an update on the capital campaign and our efforts to purchase a permanent home for Mean Street Ministry (MSM). </div><div><p style="-webkit-user-drag:none;margin:0px 0px auto;padding:0px;user-select:text;overflow-wrap:break-word;white-space:pre-wrap;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;vertical-align:baseline;font-kerning:none;text-align:left;text-indent:0px"> </div><div><p style="-webkit-user-drag:none;margin:0px 0px auto;padding:0px;user-select:text;overflow-wrap:break-word;white-space:pre-wrap;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;vertical-align:baseline;font-kerning:none;text-align:left;text-indent:0px">MSM has decided to purchase a building on Colfax Avenue that is quite a bit less than the building for which MSM originally began the capital campaign.
