“ In all these things we are More Than Conquerors through him who loved us.” Romans 8:37
Adolescent Intervention Program
The Adolescent Intervention Program works within the courtroom, offering an alternative for dealing with youthful offenders who are cited for alcohol and/or other drug offenses. First time offenders can attend drug and alcohol classes at The DoorWay, which provided up-to-date alcohol and other drug information, as well as first hand testimonies of those struggling to overcome addiction.
Crisis Intervention
Crisis Intervention including assessment, guidance, clothing and emergency shelter, is an ongoing part of The DoorWay’s daily services. Referrals and follow up are made for housing, employment, education, medical assistance and drug/alcohol rehabilitation.
North Boroughs Assessment Program
The North Boroughs Assessment Program is a unique partnership through which The DoorWay assesses people who seek financial aid through the local churches. The DoorWay evaluates these individuals, suggesting appropriate assistance and providing aid as needed and where appropriate. Since its origin, the program has grown and now also receives referrals from area schools, law enforcement and health care providers.
Community Service
Community Service at The DoorWay works in conjunction with local Magisterial District Judges, Police Departments and other law enforcement authorities. The DoorWay provides a location where offenders, both youth and adults, can work off court assigned community service hours. During this process, The DoorWay’s staff has the opportunity to talk and share with those who have been charged and to begin to show them alternative choices that they can make for their lives.

Private Meetings
Private Meetings with individuals and families are held on a case by case basis. This allows problems and issues to be discussed in a neutral environment. Then, working together to find a Godly solution to the problem, they build a plan to implement changes that will allow them to over come their family struggles together.
Heart of Christmas Project
The Heart of Christmas Party brings hope into the lives of those who need it most. In conjunction with local churches, governmental agencies, community organizations and individual donors, The DoorWay coordinates the distribution of gifts to needy families. These gifts are distributed during an annual Christmas party, which provides the opportunity for the true Christmas story (a real reason for hope), to be presented. Annually, these gifts help to make Christmas a special time for hundreds of people.
