          Soaps, shampoo and other hygiene items are collected and forwarded to this facility where many residents arrive with few personal possessions.

          CUP meets in our second floor classroom the first Tuesday of each month to coordinate multiple services around the area so that we can be more effective in helping those in need.

The Harm Reduction Center
          This local organization continues to work to support, educate and help prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS and related diseases among at risk communities.

Fairly Traded Coffee
          Coffee, tea, and other goodies are ordered through Equal Exchange whose founders envisioned a food system that empowers farmers and consumers, supports small farmer co-ops, and uses sustainable farming methods.

The FISH Food Pantry
          Our congregation is one of several from our community that have joined together to operate this pantry for over 40 years.  We donate food and funds as well as volunteer hours to help feed the hungry.  

The Friendly Kitchen (Meals on Wheels)
          Nutritional hot meals are delivered to elderly and handicapped people Monday through Friday for minimal costs.  Many in our congregation volunteer as delivery drivers.

Half-Door Mission
          Betty, our Administrative Professional, gives lunches, gas vouchers, bus passes, and other needed things to people who stop by the church office looking for some help.

Heifer Project International
           Heifer’s mission is to work with communities to end hunger and poverty and care for the earth.  With gifts of livestock and training, families are helped to improve their nutrition and generate income in sustainable ways.  By giving families a hand-up, not just a hand-out, Heifer empowers them to turn lives of hunger and poverty into self-reliance and hope. At Christmas time, we encourage people to purchase animals in lieu of other traditional Christmas gifts. Gift cards are provided.

Narcotics Anonymous
          Meetings are held within the church every weekday at Noon and on Thursday evenings.  Attendance averages 20-30 individuals at each.

Umpqua Community Health Center
          Lower cost health care offered in our community.
