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.
