Community Outreach

Volunteer Opportunities :

It is estimated that one in ten families may go without Christmas this year, due to the financial struggles of the economy. We hope that you will join us in reducing this number by offering the love of Christ and the hope that His birth brings. We cannot do it alone, and no donation is too small.
