Christmas Meals for our Local Partners

Drop-offs begin December 4

Join us in serving our local partners this Christmas by buying a meal for a family in our community. We are partnering with Wellington Elementary, Booker T. Washington Elementary, and Russell Cave Church of Christ to provide meals for 100 families this Christmas season. As in previous years, we have a set menu for the meals which costs about $60 for a family of 4–6. You will receive the list by email once you sign up.

We will be collecting items at the gym/dining room entrance at one of the times listed below. Ring the doorbell and a volunteer will help you unload.

  • After services on December 4 and 11
  • Mondays through Thursdays 9am to 4pm from now until December 8

The deadline to receive all items is December 11. If you have any questions, please contact DJ Rinehart.

We are headed to Peru in 2023! Anyone is welcome to apply—we’ve led teams with 13-year-olds, 70-year-olds, and every age in between. Cost is still to be determined but will probably be $3,500–4,000.
