Hamilton Living Water Ministry, Inc. was founded in 1999 with the goal to bring people into active service in today’s world and into our community and to step into the community and provide a means to restore dignity and self-worth.  Hamilton Living Water offers many great programs for children and people of all ages.  It is also named a Safe Haven by the Ohio Department of Justice Weed and Seed Program and the Hamilton City Police Department.  Cathy Hester, the Executive Director, will be speaking on the importance of Summer Food programs.
