Join Our Drive
Join our Christmas Hamper Drive this season and support our community! This Christmas season, we invite you to take an active role in caring for our community, especially in support of immigrant families.
We’re looking for volunteers to help provide hampers filled with food, personal items, and gifts to families in need. Once again, we’ve partnered up with Multicultural Health Brokers Co-op to assist us in this campaign.
Last year, our church provided hampers to 62 families. Our goal is to reach over 75 families this year! We need your help to reach that goal.
Be the hands and feet of Jesus in providing Christmas hampers. Please sign up to support a family!
