Street2Life is the social enterprise of Open Door Ministries: a real print shop where people coming off the street, through homelessness, abuse, addiction, trafficking, and incarceration, earn paid work, learn a trade, and rebuild their lives.
Street2Life is the social enterprise of Open Door Ministries. Behind every order, someone rebuilding their life after homelessness, abuse, addiction, trafficking, or incarceration is learning what keeps a job: timeliness, focus, teamwork, with paid hands-on hours, mentorship, and spiritual care.
We measure what matters across seven domains of life health and walk with each person for three months to a year. Buy from us, and you fund a way back.
How it started
Street2Life began as a drop-in art studio for kids on the street. It grew into a working print shop and became one of eighteen ministry programs under Open Door Ministries, all with the same aim: a path from the street to a productive, Christ-centered life.
Shop life
In their words
Street2Life has been a blessing in my life. Through this ministry, I have a deeper relationship with Christ. I’m grateful to be part of an organization that believes in restoration, second chances, and changed lives.
I came to ODM struggling with addiction. I’ve been sober going on two years now. My favorite part is working here in the print shop, learning more about Jesus while earning money. God has given me another chance, and this is only the beginning.
