From 1975, when we began with a vision of working to help meet human needs and alleviating social and economic ills, to 2003 when we began operations in our present location, the Eastside Ministerial Alliance (EMA) has worked with various organizations to serve the Waterloo community. The EMA is an ecumenical 501(c)3, not for profit, organization of clergy whose mission is to:

MISSION STATEMENT:
" Establish, conduct, and maintain educational, social, charitable, economic, and recreational programs and endeavors as may assist in the advancement of its members and aid in the general welfare of a population in the community that is under-served or have otherwise fallen through the social service, economical, and educational cracks."

We make use of both private and government funding to bring together resources needed to:

  • Help individuals and families who would otherwise fall through the cracks.
  • Give hope where there is hopelessness.
  • Build neighborhoods and vibrant communities.
  • Make the Cedar Valley stronger and more united.
  • Pave the way to a bright community future.
