Food Drive
We are extremely grateful to all the schools, churches, and businesses that participated in the Food Drive! Your great efforts provided food for our holiday banquets and have given the Mission a storehouse of food from which we can prepare meals throughout the year. Presently, the Mission is serving about 900 meals every day throughout over 30 locations.
Year-end Giving
You are a blessing. 2 Corinthians 9:8
The year-end giving campaign has once again been a tremendous source of blessing for the Mission. The incredible response from all of you, our donors, demonstrates your support of the Mission’s programs as we participate together in this wonderful endeavor to transform lives.
Even as God revealed His love for us by sending His Son, Jesus, to come to earth and bring salvation, God continues to reveal His great love by transforming lives every day. What a joy it is to be a part of God’s work!
Banquets and Toy Drive
Both the Thanksgiving and Christmas Banquets served to bless our community. At each event, over 1,000 meals were served. Elderly folks without a place to go were welcomed as family. Families experiencing limited resources found a place to feast and receive presents for their children. People without housing were able to come and enjoy a sumptuous meal and receive clothing. Over 100 volunteers at each event brought desserts and gave their time to serve. These banquets displayed the outpouring of generosity by our community to care for those whom God wants to bless.
Thank you to all who donated toys for our annual toy drive. At the Christmas Eve Banquet, Santa gave toys to children 0-12 years old. Thank you for being a blessing to those in need in our community!
Christmas Presents for Children
A huge thank you to the employees from the Merced School District who coordinated an effort to put over 180 presents together for kids at our Christmas Banquet. Children who attended the Christmas Banquet with their parents received a gift from Santa.
jackets - The gift of warmth this winter
Families and friends from Hilmar brought over 70 new coats to the Mission to be distributed to men, women, and children. Thank you so much for this incredible gift that will keep so many people warm this winter!!
Donations of Hygiene Items to Those in Need
The Mission is always in need of hygiene necessities to pass out to those who are unhoused. We are always grateful to those of you who help, by bringing these items to us. Recently, we were blessed by both Atwater High and the California Psychiatric Transitions in Delhi who brought in supplies of these much-needed items. Thank you for your great support!
