“When my son started coming (to The Factory Ministries), I felt at peace because I knew it’s an extension of a family.” – Joann Awan, Community Member If you happen to stop by the Together Community Center throughout the week, you will most likely see Joann dropping off donations of the Food Pantry or chatting with staff at the front desk. She is a fixture in our Factory Community. Joann was first connected to The Factory Ministries when her children began attending The Factory Youth Center several years ago. She often volunteers at Factory Events and participates in workshops held at the Together Community Center. #FactoryFaces #ExtraGive #igiveextra — The Factory Ministries exists to empower others to strengthen their community.
