ICYM moves on to a new model, and hopefully, a new home

ICYM moves on to a new model, and hopefully, a new home

Inner City Youth Ministry in Saint John finds itself in need of a new home as they head in a new direction.

The outreach program that focuses on family and children has been headquartered at the Anglophone South School District office in Saint John’s north end for three years. 

It was from the large industrial kitchen there that ICYM ran its Lunch Connection program, providing lunch for hundreds of school children each week.
