Supporting Local Families
Walking Alongside Children & Families in our Community
What this looks like:
Support can take many forms--sometimes it's meeting a practical need, and other times it's simply walking alongside someone as they take their next step.
​EXAMPLES:
-
Provideing essentials for families in need
-
Ensuring school children are able to celebrate their birthday with our cupcake ministry.
-
Partnering with schools and community organizations like 2nd Harvest, Unicef, ICAP & more.
-
Offering encouragement, support, and connection
Learning & Support
We don't just meet immediate needs. We build relationships and offer opportutinities to learn and grow--through practical classes, shared meals, and conversations that help people move forward in everyday life.
​
It's not about having all the answers--it's about showing up and walking alongside people over time.
There are many ways to be part of this--whether through giving, serving, or simply showing up and building relationships.
