A West Side after-school program that 150-plus children rely on each week may not be able to reopen unless new funding arrives - putting tutoring, food support and a safe haven for teens in jeopardy.

Harper's Chapel Ministries was empty this week on a day when students would normally be on campus for summer programming.

The ministry, which has expanded its youth programs since 2023, said it does not currently have enough funding to open its teen enrichment programs.
