Neighborhood Outreach | Breakaway Ministries in Chattanooga

Somethin’ Good in the Hood!

Our teams serve children and families in econonomically disadvantaged and public housing neighborhoods, assisting with their very practical and holistic needs, while sharing the goodness of God’s love through abundant expressions of sharing life and community together.

We build community and pursue growing relationships with our friends in underserved communities through a range of ministries, serve projects, and church partnerships.

Some of our neighborhood ministries include:

Snack Packs for kids living in food insecure homes
Mobile food pantry
VBS and backyard Bible clubs
Tutoring for students
After school activities
Backpacks and school supplies for low-income families
Sports, recreation, and art camps
Spring and fall festivals
Childcare services
Auto maintenance
Annual drives for winter coats and heaters
Clothing and hygiene supplies for needy families
Basic care for those who are in unfortunate circumstances

We could always use non-perishable goods, food and drinks, new toys for giveaways, clothing, backpacks, Bibles, and hygiene products.

If you church group or mission team would like to partner with us in a neighborhood outreach, contact us for more information about serve opportunities.

“A wonderful ministry that serves children here and abroad. I first met the founder, Jimmy Larche, when he came to visit my church during mission conference. Since then I have served at Breakaway’s summer camp for trauma-impacted kids, as well as the sports in ministry in Dominican Republic. Jimmy has a powerful testimony that drives him to reach out with the love of God to kids who are struggling like he once was.”

“I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for Breakaway Outreach. My father was incarcerated and I was sent into foster care. I started camp as a tiny little camper and now I get to serve as camp nurse! I graduated from Lee University with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I am currently working as a Nursery and Postpartum Nurse. Breakaway Outreach is exactly what it sounds like. It’s an outreach of family and community that all come together because we truly care about God’s children.”

“This camp has been wonderful. You have helped me to find Jesus, the Lord. I have let Jesus into my heart. You have so many amazing people here and you have given me so much hope. God has given us all a chance to know and love each other. Thank you so much and I hope that I can keep coming back to camp.”

“Before the first year at camp, it was the lowest part of my life. I had lost my mother and sister in a tragic car wreck. I was being bullied at school and was planning to commit suicide when I received an invitation with a scholarship to attend Breakaway camp. I decided to put off the suicide plan and attend camp. It was the best decision I ever made. I gave my life to Jesus at camp and then Breakaway helped me get involved with a local church. My life still has ups and downs but I know now that God has me no matter what.”
