Our mission is to assist those both inside and outside our church who are unable to provide the
essentials of housing, food, and clothing for themselves. As we do so, we endeavor through
example and personal interactions to provide optimism for those who are also "poor in spirit". Specifically, our programs include: 2. Participation in Meals on Wheels, volunteers delivering food to shut-ins. 3. Participation in Habitat for Humanity, including both local projects and several trips of volunteers to Mississippi for Hurrican Katrina housing restoration. 4. Bimonthly preparation and serving of hot, nutritious meals for the hungry at Judeo-Christian Outreach Center 5. Hosting of Red Cross blood drive on site 4-times a year. 6. Participation in Winter Shelter - hosting 50-60 homeless for a week in December, providing hot dinners, a warm and safe place to sleep, hot breakfasts, bag lunches, warm clothing and toiletries, foot care, prayer and fellowship. 7. Christmas gifts for those less fortunate, supplied by individual donors who fulfill about 330 specific "Angel Tag" wishes. 8. Delivery of about 60 Christmas poinsettias, with a personal visit and caroling, to Bay Lake nursing home residents. 9. Provision, as needed, of supplies of socks and/or sandwiches for the homeless at St. Columba Ministry. 10. Easter baskets prepared and delivered to less fortunate children. 11. Collection of school supplies for needy children in September. 12. Thanksgiving baskets for some 100 families, each containing more than a full turkey dinner for each family of a specific size, the food donations collected by our church-sponsored Boy Scout troop.
