LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Life Changers,
Water Street Ministries continues its services to the hungry, homeless, and struggling of Central Pennsylvania. Our annual report shares in an informative graphic style the impact of what your financial gifts do to provide for the most basic needs, food and shelter, to more complex needs that require counseling and medical care.
Our programs and services span from serving young children at Wonder Club to youth at Teen Haven to adults in need of longer term interventions. All that we do originates from our faith in Christ, following His teaching to love our neighbor and to care for those in need.
As the new President of Water Street Ministries, I consider it a privilege to now lead Water Street and continue its faithful commitment to the gospel and service to the poor and hurting.
Sincerely,
Charles “Chasz” ParkerPresidentWater Street Ministries
