About Us
Founded in 2021 by Candace Jones, we are committed to a compassionate approach to community service, operating with a grassroots ethos and a firm belief in meeting people where they are. Our goal is to make a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve.
As we look to the future, CJ Ministry is eager to expand our impact. We are actively seeking volunteers and exploring new funding opportunities through grants and donor outreach. With a growing network of support, we aim to continue our vital work within the Pittsburgh community and beyond.
