monthly food drives 

2nd sunday of the month

Since 2020, we've hosted monthly food drives to support our local food banks and neighbors! We  collect nonperishable food donations the 2nd Sunday of most months. You can drive up to the front of the Worship Center on Sunday mornings to drop off donations and our team will help unload. We’re grateful for your ongoing participation! This makes a tangible difference to help our community.
Next Food Drive: Sunday, October 12th
