Welcome!Culturally, linguistically, and religiously diverse with some of the highest poverty rates in the country — that is the community context for Fresno Metro Ministry.Founded in 1970, Metro is a multi-faith, multi-cultural organization dedicated to the creation of a more respectful, compassionate and inclusive Fresno that promotes social and economic justice. Metro seeks to accomplish this through advocacy – advocacy that works for change in our institutional and governmental policies and systems by linking those institutions with our communities, the low-income, and with those whose voices are not heard. Over the years, working collaboratively, those connections have resulted in increased access to health care for Fresno’s low-income and indigent populations, access to more affordable and nutritious food, cleaner air and a less toxic environment, better access to community helping services, and healthier and safer places for children and adults. Along the way, we have assisted in the development of leaders in many of our low-income and ethnic communities who have gone on to continue the work as advocates for their neighborhoods and their communities. We invite you to explore our web pages and learn about the exciting work that Fresno Metro Ministry is currently undertaking and, through that work, learn more about Fresno and the Central Valley.
