GOD'S HANDS
Our God's Hands program is made up of two main activities to help the homeless community: donations to local shelters (God's Hands I), and hot meals delivered directly to the homeless (God's Hands II).
God's Hands I - Shelter Needs
The God’s Hands I program helps the shelters by donating items such as personal hygiene and children’s activity items. A list of needs will be posted here every month. The items will be collected by the end of the month and delivered to the shelters at that time.
Items may be dropped off at our Church, Saturday mornings between 9:30 am and 12:30 pm. To support this program financially, you may go to Give Online and select the "God's Hands I" category.
The needs for January 2022 are:
Large size clothing (2XL/3XL) for both men and women
Waterproof gloves
Large heavy duty towels
Coloring books for kids
