Community Outreach
At First Christian Church, we strive to be a source of comfort and outreach in our community. Jesus calls to love each other as we love ourselves... and, more importantly, to love each other like Jesus loved (and continues to love) us.
Near our parking lot, we have a Giving Fence, where we hang clothes, and a Blessing Box that we fill with food and toiletries for anyone in need.
All are welcome to give as they can. Below are some common items we share:
Giving Fence*Shirts
Pants Coats Hats Gloves Scarves Socks *Please make sure to put items in a plastic bag (plastic clothing bag, shopping bag, zip lock bag, etc.) to protect items from rain/snow. |
Blessing BoxCereal
Canned fruits & vegetables Beans Soup Noodles Crackers Apple Sauce Pudding Peanut Butter Hygiene items (tooth brush/tooth paste, soap, deodorant, etc.) |
Gifts of Love
The Gifts of Love is an outreach project where we take up a collection of specific items and give them to local organizations.
There are now three baskets placed under the Gifts of Love board in the Sunroom, one labeled laundry products, one labeled personal care products (such as shampoo, body wash, bar soap, conditioner, or feminine products—no pads), and one labeled paper goods. When a basket is full, we will take the items to Hope House, Refuge of Hope, and Cross Road Recovery Center. This will be an on-going project.
