At the Urban Ministry Center, we have a holiday tradition that captures the true spirit of the season.  Each year, we select a piece of original artwork from our ArtWorks 945 program to create a holiday greeting card -- our Honor Card.  A portion of your donation goes directly to the artist and the remainder supports the many basic services and life-changing programs we offer year-round.   We are happy to hand address and mail your Honor Cards as well -- our gift to you this holiday season.   This year's card features a beautiful Madonna and Child, created by Sylvia Thomas, a member of ArtWorks 945.   2010 cards (shown here) are now available. Order online or by mail -- here's how:

O   Email your list of names and complete addresses to Beth Galen, Administrative Assistant.  To make your donation for the cards please go to Donate Online and list "Honor Card" in the memo field, or

O  Download the order form and mail it to the address below.  Please tell us how to sign your name on the card.  Enclose a check payable to Urban Ministry Center for your donation, or donate online.
