“Eastside’s Essentials” began as a drawing on notebook paper at the end of 2019, our groundbreaking took place in July 2023. Thank you to everyone who helped make this dream come true! God has His hand upon our ministry and we will continue to put Him first and give Him praise for using our ministry to serve our neighbors in need.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
