“Ultimately, BBQ for Blue has shown us that there are people out there who appreciate us and the difficult job we have chosen as a career. We appreciate Bart and West Blvd Ministry for their continued partnership and unwavering support of CMPD’s Westover Division.”

“I’m a proud mom to a family of six, and I have had the pleasure to be part of West Blvd Ministry for six years. West Blvd Ministry played a big part of our life over the years and just to have that relationship is a blessing…you guys rock! I love you.”

“This ministry has allowed our staff and students to see and feel their worth on a daily basis. Not only in the resources given by West Blvd Ministry to the school, their thoughts, time and friendship have gone a long way to know that they care about the total school.”

“Bart and the West Blvd Ministry are able to recognize what the inner city needs, not just funds but endless support and prayers. They build treasures that will last forever with these students. West Blvd Ministry is the best community relationship we have for making an impact on athletes. When students see Bart, they are excited and know that WBM is there for them with endless support and prayers."

"Vizion Church has partnered with West Blvd Ministry for over two years. During this time we have had the privilege of working with Bart and his staff to do numerous events, both large and small, up and down the West Blvd corridor. What always makes these events special, is that regardless of the numbers, be it 200 or 20, the emphasis always remains on connecting with the individual in a way that will leave their life significantly impacted. It is clear to all the volunteers who serve, that this ministry is about relationships. This not only leads to lives being touched and the communities themselves being transformed, but it has a profound impact on the lives of the volunteers. They discover that real ministry can happen through them if they will just make themselves available."
