FEEDING THE COMMUNITY, BODY & SOUL
Every opportunity to serve is open to those willing to share their gifts of time and talent. To learn about how to get involved in a specific area, call the church office.
COMMUNITY
Each month we collect a different food item identified by the food bank as a staple. Along with many other local churches, our monthly collection contributes to a well stocked Food Bank in our community. Collection site is on a bench outside the Fellowship Hall.
The church works with the local Food Bank to provide food for families with chronic hunger needs. Monthly, each family is provided a box of food to help sustain them.
In conjunction with First Baptist Church, we help pack and deliver "backpacks" of food in the summer months to help children with chronic hunger needs. For more information or to volunteer contact Terry Bellamy.
