Neighborhood Ministries, Inc

Neighborhood Ministries is a hub of community activity where basic necessities of life are joyfully met, including providing a safe place for youth to engage in sports, activities, and the arts. Whole generations of families have forever been changed by being shown a way out of the cycle of poverty that grips most urban communities. The results have been nothing short of miraculous and a testimony of the power of Jesus Christ to transform people using the faithful passion and work of Founder and President Kit Danley and scores of faithful employees and volunteers making daily differences.

The organization was founded in 1982, but the vision of serving and impacting the urban community began years before. As a teenager, Kit Danley’s heart was bent toward helping and serving the marginalized and forgotten in downtown Phoenix. Her relationship with Christ galvanized her calling to be the hands and feet of Jesus to the poor and disenfranchised. The vision of Neighborhood Ministries is not just to serve the community, but to be part of the neighborhood…"to be the presence of Jesus."

Organization Mission Statement:

To be the presence of Jesus Christ, sharing his life-transforming hope, love, and power among distressed families of urban Phoenix to ignite their passion for God and His Kingdom.
