Together, we are working to provide services and connections that will break the cycles of poverty that exist in our community
So if you are looking for a way to get involved in your community and make a difference, this is it! Check out a few of our regular opportunities below, or call/email us to find out about other ways to get plugged in.

Pantry Distribution

Come help distribute food to families experiencing risk of hunger. Volunteers help neighbors shop, pray for shoppers, and load up groceries in cars. Delivery drivers are also sometimes needed to deliver groceries to home bound individuals.
