Through your generosity, we have made a substantial donation to Community Through Hope to expand food distribution efforts for those in need. This week alone, they were able to provide 6,313 people with 59,256 pounds of food and 822 families received diapers for children.

Also with Community Through Hope, we joined Community Congregational Church in funding a mobile shower unit for the streetbound and homeless, providing critical hygiene resources for those at risk and in need.

We made a substantial donation to Powerhouse Ministries, who provide support and transitional housing to men in recovery, many of whom have been disproportionately impacted by sudden layoffs in the restaurant and service industry.

We committed thousands of dollars to Big Table, which provides assistance and immediate financial support to workers in the hospitality and food service industry, which has been devastated by shutdowns and cancellations in light of COVID-19.

People who serve in our Hand Over Hand ministry that assists families with children who have special needs dropped off groceries, supplies, and dinner to some of the families who have immunocompromised children at home.

A member of Imperial Beach Church delivered hand sanitizers, disinfectant spray, baby wipes, baby clothes, and other needs to the women at the Bilateral Safety Corridor Coalition, our long-standing partner in the battle against human trafficking.

Members of Venice Church served at information hotlines and community organizations to help get information out to people in need.

The amazing part is that this list is only part of all the good work that the people of our church network are doing – either individually or collectively. It’s all part of our ongoing goal to be the church by remaining FAITHFUL IN PRAYER, FAITHFUL IN SERVICE, and FAITHFUL IN GENEROSITY.
