Each week we pack and distribute 20 lunches for our unsheltered neighbors in downtown McKinney. You can help in several ways! The easiest (and most needed way) is to sign up to purchase food. CLICK HERE for the sign up. Bring the food to the church ASAP to be packed. You can also help pack the lunches on Wednesdays at 11:30 in the Conference Room. Donations can also be made with “homeless” as the memo to go toward the purchase of Gatorades, sacks, etc. Email Caitlin for more information.

Baby Shower for Missions

Oct '24
We are showering our Mission Closet with baby items! You can make a donation with “baby” in the memo or stop by the Baby Shower table in the hallway this week to learn more!
Help us keep items stocked for those in need by “purchasing” a gift. It’s easy! You make a donation for an item and we shop for it and keep items replaced in our closet. This allows us to have enough supplies on hand for when there is a need, but not be overstocked as we have limited space.
