Tremendous support was shown by our community Thursday night for a local youth ministry.Youth For Christ Steinbach held its annual Festival Of Friends fundraising banquet at the Steinbach Mennonite Church. Director Jim Harms says community response is always great for this event with around 375 people coming out this year.  The event raised $22,275.00.  Most of the money raised will be put towards general operations but some of the gifts were directed towards special projects.  Harms says a big thank you to Canadian Tire in Steinbach for partnering with them in the fundraising banquet.  Two major announcements were made Thursday night. Youth For Christ Morris is breaking away from YFC Steinbach and will be operating on its own. And the U-Turn house in Steinbach is now complete and ready for occupancy. Harms says a couple of teens are ready to move in this Monday. Most of the money raised will be put towards general operations but some of the gifts were directed towards special projects.
