Thank you for your interest in investing in the life-changing ministry of the Kankakee City Life Center. Your support is a direct investment in the life of a student in the Kankakee area. Whether large or small, your support is important. There are a variety of ways to partner with YFC and support the Kankakee City Life Center.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT
YFC and the City Life Center ministry are entirely funded by friends of YFC who donate time and money to support this mission. We receive no governmental funding for any of our operations or activities. The annual budget for the operation of the City Life Center is $97,000. Currently our City Life program is underfunded by approximately $27,000, so any financial contributions directly support our efforts and continue to reach the lost youth in Kankakee with the gospel message of Jesus Christ.
Fundraising - Since YFC is funded by the Local Community, fund raising efforts for under-resourced ministry sites such as the Kankakee City Life Center are always welcome and appreciated. To learn more about how to help through fundraising, contact Chuck Maw at cmaw@spyfc.org.
Ministry Staff Support - Funds to support additional staff hours and individuals to expand our ministry outreach to a greater number of local youth who need to hear the gospel mission. To learn how to support a specific staff member, contact Chuck Maw at cmaw@spyfc.org.
