Juvenile Detention Center
 

Women of Grace Ministries at 419-332-1001

Trained leaders visit with the girls currently incarcerated at the Sandusky County Juvenile Detention Center since August 2000.

During each visit a topic is presented along with Biblical truths.

The girls fill out an evaluation form at the end of each meeting.
