Warehouse Team
Warehouse Team: Furniture, housewares and clothing are donated to the Mission and displayed in our Warehouse to look like a shopping store for the people we serve to find what they need. If you are willing to serve in this area of ministry, on Tues or Thurs afternoons from 1:30p-3:30p, contact us to learn more.
Backsnacks
The Back Snack Program provides food for children who would otherwise have nothing to eat on weekends when they are not attending school.
