"Dedicated to Incarcerated Youth of the twenty-first century Our 29th year ministering to incarcerated youth! ++++++++++++++++  ________________________________________________________________________     It’s that time of year again folks. Will you help us please?  CHRISTMAS FOR INCARCERATED YOUTH  Would you help us bring Christmas joy to those incarcerated?   We have secured approval from managements at SJJS and JDF to provide Christmas treats and stockings; We will do parties at the 2 SJJS locations. Some of our ‘usual’ providers may or may not be able to participate or fully participate but we feel it very important that we provide a blessing to those incarcerated as well as the faithful staff supporting them.  (SEE OVER)  So, we are looking for homemade cookies & the like. A touch of home via homemade is more important than ever this year. For one of the SJJS pods all treats MUST BE NUT FREE as one of the residents is deathly allergic to nuts , nut based products or anything produced in a facility that produces with nuts. If you are providing nut free products please so stipulate on your packaging!. ALSO, if anyone has access to travel size shampoo, conditioners and non alcoholic mouth wash we would be pleased to have them for the stockings.  HOW THIS WORKS: If you wish to participate we look to pick up from you the weeks of 11/18/2024 and 11/25/2024. Upon receipt we repack into a variety using aluminum ‘hotel pans’ so we need the early arrival to get this done. The SJJS parties are 12/7 and 12/14: JDF is 12/18.  If you are unable to participate we would be pleased to accept a monetary donation. If we run short of goodies we will need to purchase. We also supplement some of our regular bakers with dollars as they would be unable to provide for us otherwise.  Between residents and staff we provide for around 650.  As we begin our 29TH year ministering to incarcerated youth let us make this a wonderful Christmas for those so often written off.  Prayerfully and with thanks,  Bob-586-381-0003 cell & text Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ: We thank you for your visit to this web site. Please take the time to look around a bit. It is our prayer that you might be called to volunteer and support this mighty work. Our mission is simple: 'To bring the message of Jesus Christ to incarcerated youth of the Detroit metropolitan area.' We accomplish this by providing Chaplain Visits (Christian Counseling) , study and worship opportunities to detained youth. We also provide other worship opportunities utilizing various program techniques.

There are many activities offered to the young people at the detention facilities we serve. We encourage you to become a member of 'IYM'*. We further encourage you to donate to this cause.
