    The mission of Midway’s Opportunity House is to build relationships with our community through spiritual growth, educational, and employment opportunities which collectively lead to a relationship with Jesus Christ. We are a faith based 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. Both children and adult programs are open to all. There are no religious pre-requisites to receive or participate in any of our programs. We are in service with the least, the last and the lost of our community; regardless of faith background, mental acuity, addiction, or other baggage. Our primary objective is to break the vicious poverty cycle. This goal must be engaged in two separate arenas. First, we endeavor to educate children and instill in them the love for learning. Second, we model genuine and tangible hope for adults. In both fields, we do this with intentional relationship building combined with the ultimate soft-sell when it comes to sharing our faith.

    THE MISSION OF MIDWAYS OPPORTUNITY HOUSE IS TO BUILD BETTER RELATIONS WITH OUR NEIGHBORS THROUGH EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, EMPLOYMENT AVENUES AND SPIRITUAL GROWTH MOMENTS WHICH ULTIMATELY LEAD TO A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.

    Opportunity House has established a high involvement relationship with Shady Brook Elementary School through an aggressive volunteer program, teacher support initiatives, and annual praying for the school room-by-room. Volunteers are needed for the 2011-2012 school year. There are numerous areas for service opportunities. With cutbacks in personnel, our goal is to provide assistance to the teaching staff on a daily basis. Please come and be a part of this very important program for the students and teachers. There is an area in which your talent can be utilized.

    Street food (canned or ready-to-eat food), Backpacks (for school programs), Bottled water (for hot days), Birthday cakes (to celebrate individuals), clothes, bus tokens, church vans, drivers, and gas $$ for vans (currently four vans run Thursday nights). Meal Sponsors - Preparing meals for 150+ adults and 25+ children is hard for an individual or family to support long-term. Providing food or sponsoring an evening meal for Thursday night Narrow Gate services is a good way to contribute. Groups can be easily included on a rotating schedule. Furnishing a new home, one piece at a time - It is a blessing to help people move from homelessness to their own home. Many are transitioning from rehab facilities, living with friends and relatives, and even incarceration. Donations of furniture, household effects, etc. help folks immensely and allow donors to declutter their lives. Special event sponsors and support including Christmas stocking ministry & Gifts to fund Christmas giving to the families who have dire needs; Veterans Appreciation Dinner donations; Picnic for mentally challenged athletic program; Volunteers in after school tutorial; Volunteers in "Two Touch" ministry.
