Beach Day!


Plymouth Heights Beach Outing

We are so thankful for patron outings. In August Plymouth Heights took a group of 12 patrons to Millenium Park to go swimming, play games, and have lunch. A day to get away!


Homes for Heartside

In July a group of patrons and members from Blythefield Hills Baptist Church got together to give back. They went around to homes in the Hearside area builing, fixing and landscaping. It was a day for patrons and volunteers to work together giving their time and talents!


Fishing Outing

Journey of Faith Church took Degage Patrons out to Holland to go fishing and have a cookout. We are always so grateful to the churches and volunteers who spend their time taking the patrons on an outing they will never forget!


Healing Art Therapy

Every Thursday, women in the Open Door participate in an art therapy group.


Stroll in the Park

For the month of May Blythefield Hills Baptist Church took 30 patrons to Riverside park for Subway, games, disc golf, and fun!


First Evangelical Covenant Church

First Evangelical Covenant Church had over 60 members participating on behalf of Dégagé in the Fifth Third River Bank Run. They also hosted a pasta dinner. In all, the church raised over $2,400 for Dégagé Ministries.


Fifth Third River Bank Run

On Saturday, May 8, 2010, over 150 individuals ran or walked on behalf of Dégagé Ministries in the Fifth Third River Bank Run. In addition, over 60 individuals volunteered serving post race refreshments on behalf of Dégagé. Equally as valuable were those that donated to our organization or sponsored a participant. With everyone's help, over $15,000 was raised for for our organization!


April Patron Outing

On Tuesday, April 20, Blythefield Hills Baptist Church Extreme Vision Group hosted a game and taco bar night for a group of our patrons. They played Spades, Fooseball, Pit, and many more games while enjoying an evening out with great friends and wonderful food!

Crazy game of PIT!

March Bowling Outing

In March, Blythefield Hills Baptist Church took a group of our patrons to Wengers bowling alley for a night full of fun, pizza, and pop!


Volunteer Appreciation Party

In honor of all the volunteers who provide their time and services to Degage we thank you! Degage Ministries relies on volunteers to run its programs and facilities; we could not do it without each volunteer. On Thursday, February 15 we held a volunteer party to show our appreciation for all the help given. Thank you to those who were able to attend.
