The first Saturday in August is our annual Back-to-School Bash. Volunteers give out school supplies to area children and we have fun games to play. We would love for your church or business to host a school supply drive to assist with giving our area students a great start to a new school year.

Meal Delivery

Following each Community Meal & Worship, we try to deliver plates to our neighbors who can't make it out for the meal. Come volunteer with our meal delivery and be a huge blessing to our neighbors.
