This means we will feed the hungry, we will clothe the poor, we will lift the downtrodden, and we will share what we can with those in need." We offer services such as housing the handicapped & elderly, service to seniors, youth book distribution, residential drug & alcohol treatments, holiday food and gifts, food pantry, thrift stores and Random Acts of Kindness Week.
