Highland Center Ministries is an LLC under the Highland Center Corporation.  It has the goal of providing resources to people in need in the Shreveport Highland neighborhood, all through a diverse network of local faith groups and organizations.  The ministry began in April 2012 with several congregations (All Souls Unitarian Universalist, Cathedral of St. John Berchman, Church for the Highlands,  First Presbyterian Church, King’s Highway Christian Church, Noel United Methodist Church, and the Philoptocos group from St. George Greek Orthodox) and organizations (The Food Bank of Northwest Louisiana, Volunteers of America) coming together to start the Highland Blessing Dinner, a family-style meal served each Thursday night for the working poor in Highland.  It currently provides 125 meals, with around 26 volunteers each week.

In addition to the meal, two more ministries have developed at the Highland Center and will have Grand Openings in January:

• Maggie Lee’s Closet–a clothes store for children K-8th grade
• Men’s Gear–clothes and tools for men
