Agape Street Ministry and Sancta Maria House are charitable organizations that rely primarily on the generosity of private donors. As both organizations are run by a volunteer Board of Directors and a team of volunteers that assist with the ministry work, financial support is essential to ensure the ability to continue to fulfill the mission and visions of the independent organizations. As no financial contribution is too small there are several ways to support the work of Agape Street Ministry and Sancta Maria House.
