ABOUT WEBSTER-ROCK HILL MINISTRIES
OUR MISSION
We seek to partner with, assist and aid those in need, while offering tools and services to empower them to pursue resolutions to their present circumstance.
OUR HISTORY
On August 21, 1982, Webster-Rock Hill Ministries was chartered as a non-profit organization to assist to the elderly, unemployed, people with disabilities and people with low incomes.
A non-profit organization, Webster-Rock Hill Ministries is financially supported by contributions from private donors, businesses, community organizations, fundraising events and contributing churches.
Our community is filled with many blessings but also many needs. In 1982, concerned citizens, ministers, and community organizations recognized that some of our neighbors needed assistance. Together, they organized Webster-Rock Hill Ministries so our community could work together to get our neighbors the needed support.
In 2016, our community of supporters renewed its commitment to our neighbors in need through the Our WRHM campaign, which funded the revitalization and expansion of the Ministries’ facility.
