About The Broken Bus Ministry

The Broken Bus Ministry, a grassroots Christian organization, has been operating for 11 years. It was founded by a family in Liberty Township in 2013. The family initially served individuals experiencing homelessness through their church in Cincinnati and later decided to start their own initiative. What began as simple trips downtown to distribute food from their car evolved into the purchase of a mobile service vehicle. This vehicle now drives through downtown Cincinnati weekly, providing food, clothing, and building relationships with people experiencing homelessness.

​

The family used community resources to transform an old, small bus into a mobile service vehicle. It is stocked with food, clothing, shoes, toiletries, blankets, Bibles, and other necessities. The previous back doors, intended for a wheelchair lift, were transformed into a serving window to allow volunteers to join the trips downtown in a safe yet intimate way.

​

While the ministry prioritizes spreading the love of Jesus to those in need in the greater Cincinnati area, it also aims to provide members of the local community the opportunity to serve others. Groups of up to five people, ages 12 and above, are encouraged to serve on the front lines by riding on the bus.

​

The ministry operates from a modest office space in Fairfield, Ohio. All individuals involved in the ministry donate their time, and there is no paid staff. A Board of Directors oversees the ministry. The founder of the ministry makes regular visits to schools, companies, and events to present information about the ministry. They also welcome groups of all ages to visit their Fairfield facility.
