See, I am doing a new thing!Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?I am making a way in the wildernessand streams in the wasteland.Isaiah 43:19 Spring Business Breakfast Please take a look at our 12th annual Business Breakfast that took place on Thursday, May 16, 2024. Our theme was “CHANGES,” about which our new Executive Director, Charles Moses, delivered a powerful message. He shared stories of his challenging childhood and how Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge helped turn his life around and gave him hope and a career that ultimately led him to HHYD. Charles also expressed his vision and desire for HHYD to grow beyond our current building and to serve more teens. We are now keeping the building open at night, and it has already drawn 97 young men to our ‘Hoops After Dark’ program, a safe and structured environment where they can develop their basketball skills, build relationships, and learn essential life lessons. Two hundred ten (210) guests attended our breakfast event, and as of now, we have just over $170,000 in donations. THANK YOU! With a little more help from guests who took their pledge sheets home and others who couldn’t make the event,

On March 21st, we hosted a banquet and celebrated our Basketball teams with their families. We served the families food and presented trophies, which the children loved.
