Through This Ministry You Are There!
Our mandate is to support and empower people living in poverty to access the benefits to which they are entitled; to provide educational workshops and produce educational resources on anti-poverty issues and to train advocates in our community; and to engage in anti-poverty activism and lobbying as well as community consensus building around key poverty issues.
Everyday Regina Anti-Poverty Ministry (RAPM) works with someone struggling to have their basic needs made through the Saskatchewan Income Support (SIS) system program. Over the past two years one of the commonest issues that staff address with clients is utility cut off. RAPM advocates for an income support system that successfully lifts people out of poverty.
- Special thanks to Knox-Metropolitan United Church for the free office space provided for the Anti-Poverty Ministry over the years.

- Special thanks to all the individuals whose donations enabled the Anti-Poverty Ministry to help over 2000 cases last year. In addition, each year the Anti-Poverty Ministry trains 5 – 6 interns / practicums – our advocates for the future.
