monthly food drives 

june 2025 update 

Since 2020, we've hosted monthly food drives to support our local food banks and neighbors. Starting in August, we’re making a small change to how we collect food donations:
  • Food drives will continue on the 2nd weekend of most months
  • Donations will be accepted on Sundays only (we will no longer collect food on Saturdays)
  • You can drive up to the front of the Worship Center on Sunday mornings to drop off donations and our team will help unload.
This adjustment will help us streamline our efforts while continuing to provide meaningful support to those who rely on local food banks. We’re grateful for your ongoing participation!
