“How can we be better united without being able to help one another feed each other, especially those who are in great need during the Christmas season or all year round. I mean, with the situation that's happening within our country and all the SNAP benefits being cut or turned down, et cetera, there are going to be more and more people who are in need of ways to feed their family,” said Mary Blanche Hengstler of Com_Unity Ministries.
Com_Unity Ministries is inviting anyone between the ages of 10 and 19 to join as “diplomats” in their “Project Lima-25.” Participants are encouraged to make a difference by standing up against bullying and violence or by sharing their own experiences as victims to help stop the cycle.
“But what can I actually say to someone that will maybe make a difference to them and change them? Not only so they don’t bully me, but don’t bully others, and maybe so they stop bullying altogether,” said MaryBlanche Hengstler of Com_Unity Ministries.

Bringing the community together in song is the goal of an upcoming concert. The newly formed "Lima Unity" ensemble is looking to create a city-wide choir, and they are in need of singers. If you are 13 years old or older and like to sing, they want you. They will be having an "Undivided" concert on Sunday, October 27, 2024, and are asking you to help "unite" the city of Lima.
One Lima organization is celebrating their 5-year anniversary of their pursuit to curb violence and encourage unity in the city. On Monday evening, Com_UNITY Ministries gathered with residents to celebrate those 5 years with a "Praise and Prayer Picnic." The evening was also filled with honor as organizers held a "Remembrance Wall" where the names of 45 Lima citizens who lost their lives to violence. The religious group formed in 2019, following a series of shootings in June of that year, and since their inception, they have been working hard to fulfill a mission of peace and unification.
