Our local church is not equipped to meet many of the needs that are brought to us. Therefore, we have compiled a list of community resources that may be of assistance to those in need. Included in this list are agencies that offer volunteer opportunities.
****PLEASE NOTE: All of these organizations ask that you call before you show up so that they can better handle your need.
