My family and I were not in a good place. I am a single mom who had a tough time getting ready for the year to start. My washer broke and I had to spend the money for new school shoes on the washer. Because of the support of WeighOut Ministries, I was able to pay for the washer knowing they had the shoes taken care of. I am grateful. Now, my kids are loving school at Centennial, and I am thrilled we have what we need.”

WeighOut Ministries The HUB, has given me a chance to really connect deeply with men from diverse backgrounds and and with men who are at different stages of their faith. It’s very unique in that, It’s a safe space where men could be vulnerable and transparent about their struggles and failures, receiving the support, counsel, and genuine care needed to overcome.”
