Supporting Migrant Workers for Over 60 Years: The Mission and Impact of the Hartville Migrant Ministry
The Hartville Migrant Ministry was established in 1962 to assist Jamaican migrant workers who were brought to Hartville to work on the fertile muck farms. Over 60 years later, HMM is still working to fulfill its original mission of serving Hartville’s migrant community and improving their quality of life through a plethora of programs. These services include a free medical clinic, English classes, youth programs, Spiritual programming and more.
The Mission of the Hartville Migrant Ministry is simple, yet powerful:
“Our mission is to serve the needs of migrants through our Christian ministry, while encouraging a sense of worth and community-belonging among migrant workers and families, raising cultural awareness, and advocating for the well-being of migrant workers.”
They are always looking for volunteers to help facilitate programs and assist with the every day operations of the center. Volunteers make the Hartville Migrant Ministry possible!
