Agape Street Ministry and Sancta Maria House are associated charitable organizations that rely primarily on the generosity of private donors. The organizations are operated by a common core of directors and separate teams of volunteers. 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.
