Outreach
Join the Grace Community Outreach Team and serve our city in a variety of ways. Check out the slides to see the up-and-coming outreach opportunities we have available.
Every Tuesday from 11a-1p is food collection day. As we collect food, we will then have food distributions.
We are being strategic about what foods to collect so we are able to feed the most people, be cost effective for all of you that are donating, and not have anything go to waste.
Currently Collecting:
Dry rice and beans
Dry/instant potatoes
Macaroni and cheese
Pasta and sauce
Canned vegetables
Canned soups
Canned/jarred fruits
Canned meats (chicken, tuna)
Oatmeals
Cereals
Bread
Peanut butter
Jelly
Protein/granola bars
Individual drink mixes
On the collection day closest to distribution we will ask for:
Milk
Eggs
Bananas, apples, oranges, potatoes
Frozen meat
If you know of any local resources that are available to help we are always open to hearing about those.
Feel free to email us if you have any questions. Together, we can do so much more!
Blessings,
Mark+Rebecca Rodriguez
