Why donate?

Side By Side serves as a source of loving support, emotional bonding, prayer, delicious food and, of course, lots of laughter to between 100-200 women in Rochester each year. We also assist women by helping them network in their new community as they arrive to Rochester for medical training. ​But most important of all, through the ministry of Side By Side, the souls of many women, their children and their husbands have been won for Christ. It's an exciting place to be and we would love to have you join us in ministry!

Donations to our organization are primarily used in two ways.

1. To supplement our income which helps with our operational expenses which include printing, maintaining our website, collecting payments, etc.
2. To offset the cost of childcare to ensure a low cost for all members AND providing scholarships to those who identify as experiencing financial hardship.

​In 2024-2025, we gave out scholarships totaling: 
   $1,255.00 for Summer Newcomer Study Childcare
   $1,279.00 for Year-Round Childcare
   $2,534.00 in Total Scholarships Given

Thank you for supporting our ministry and supporting our sisters.

"And I will make of you a great nation, and I will
​bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing."
