Help us raise money

Hello beloved friends and family!

Thank you for your consideration in directly supporting my ministry through your registration fee or donation to my team for our Run 4 the Door 5K! 2026 is my 13th year working for the ODM Youth Center.  I have three students, Lauryn, Claire, and Stephan who are graduating high school this May, and I have known them all since they were in kindergarten!

My personal mission at ODM Youth has two parts: First, I desire to communicate to each student their worth & value because they are made in the Image of God and Jesus Christ sacrificed His life for each one of them.  And second, I strive to be a cornerstone in each of their lives to model what a life-long relationship with Jesus looks like in hopes of fostering transformation and discipleship in their lives.

This year my goal is to raise $3,000 through this R4TD5K.  ODM implemented a new support raising policy this year, and thanks to my monthly donors, I have already raised enough support to receive my entire salary for 2026. For the additional support I raise this year, 70% directly supports our 2026 Youth Center Budget, 15% provides for a personal bonus I will possibly receive in July, and the remaining 15% provides me a ministry fund that I can use to pay for activities and supplies for our Youth Center that our 2026 Budget cannot afford.  By raising $3,000 from this 5K race, that would provide a ministry budget of $450 to bolster our summer programming for the 45 youth we have enrolled this year!

Thank you for your faithful, generous, and loving support!  It has deeply sustained me and empowered me in these 13 years of ministry!  I love you all!

With joy,

Meg Arroyo
