Sunday School

In New York, Sunday School is held five days a week at more than 200 sites throughout New York City. We offer this ministry on Saturdays using the buses to bring the kids to our church or with our mobile units going to the kids in their neighborhood. Whether we engage them with fun and games and with a positive gospel message that encourages them to stay in school, to stay away from gangs and crime and to dream big. We are currently reaching more than 20,000 children each week throughout New York City with this program.

Summer Camp

One day on the streets of Brooklyn can mean the difference between life and death for a child. Instead of turning their lives over to God, children are dedicating their lives to gangs and drug dealers. It’s an easy world to get caught up in when there is no one around to show them otherwise, no one there to introduce them to Jesus.

That’s why each year during August, Metro sponsors Summer Day Camp for hundreds of children.

At Summer Day Camp, boys and girls enjoy exciting water activities, a giant obstacle coarse, arts and crafts, music, fun games and more. Most important is the time of worship and Bible teaching during the chapel service. Not only are children kept off the streets and shown love and hope, but they have a chance to hear and encounter the truth of Christ in a fun, memorable way.

Book Bag Project

It’s amazing how powerful a new book bag filled with school supplies can be for a child. That’s because in the dead-end environment where Metro kids live, it’s easier to drop out than move up. Providing much-needed school supplies gives children the chance to build the educational foundation they need to find a better future for their lives.

Our Back To School Outreach gives children a brand new, sturdy book bag overflowing with essential items.

Boxes of Love

Each Thanksgiving, we distribute Boxes of Love, a 25-pound box filled with enough food to feed a family for one week, including a turkey just in time for the holidays. Because the need is so great, you can donate to this project year round. $25 provides one Box of Love, enough food to feed a family for a week this Thanksgiving.

Operation Holiday Hope

At Christmas, Metro World Child teaches each child who comes through our doors about our Savior’s birth — sending them home with a new, wrapped gift to show them that someone cares. These gifts are a tangible way to show the love, hope and truth of Christ to a child who might otherwise feel abandoned during the holiday season. The joy on a child’s face as they receive fun gifts and more importantly, the gift of love, is unmistakable, and this December, you can help give a gift of hope and joy to a Metro child through Christmas donations to Metro. When you support Operation Holiday Hope, your kindness works to help save the day — while Metro World Child works to help save lives.

Christmas Stocking Project

Most inner-city children do not know what it’s like to receive something handmade with love and care, but Metro World Child makes sure our kids know what it’s like through our Christmas Stocking Project. You can be a part of providing a Christmas stocking for a child by hand making one or supporting the project financially.

Making Christmas Stockings are a great outreach for individuals or group projects. Throughout the year, volunteers make stockings from the pattern provided and fill them with goodies for boys and girls. Stockings are received and processed by Metro World Child August through November 19th of each year. The pattern provides sewing specifications as well as information on what items to stuff into your stockings. All stockings must arrive before NOVEMBER 19th each year. For more information, email questions to .

If you are not able to make or send a filled Christmas stocking, you may also participate by making a contribution to this project. Just $10 provides a child with a stocking that could be filled with an answer to the simplest of prayers — a toy car, a hair barrette, a toothbrush.

Warm Hearts and Hands

Countless young boys and girls face unbearably cold weather without any essential winter clothing items. Metro World Child works to provide gloves, coats, hats, scarves, socks and more to children in need each winter. Through the generosity of our supporters and sponsors, we’re able to wrap the children we work with in physical and spiritual warmth.

Your gift to our Warn Hearts and Hands outreach will help provide gloves, coats, hats, scarves and more to a child in need. In life, these kids need God’s armor to protect them. In winter, they also need warm clothing and gear to get them through.
