Hands for Christ Ministry is the non-profit corporation that supports the Centro Comunitario Del Espiritu Santo (Community Center of the Holy Spirit) in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.
Built on the site of a former garbage dump, the center was born of what many call a miracle — the feeding of hundreds of residents with food brought for a tailgate Christmas dinner in 1972.
By the grace of God and the hard work of residents and volunteers from around the world, the Center has blossomed into an island of hope in a sea of poverty.
Today the Center houses medical, dental and eye clinics, a daycare facility, community dining hall, and school.
Health Care
The health clinic provides medical, dental and eye care along with a testing lab and pharmacy. The dentist averages about 52 neighborhood patients a week. The medical clinic has three doctors rotating to provide 6 days of care with about 35 patients per day. The eye clinic provides one-a-week eye examinations and eye glasses.
Meals
More than 200 nutritious breakfasts and lunches are lovingly prepared and served daily to the children of the Community Center by a group of dedicated women from the community. Groceries are delivered without charge to many of the neighborhood's sick, elderly and disabled.
