SAVE THE DATE! 🥪❤️

Our annual and largest outreach event of the year is coming up!

We love serving our community because Jesus modeled what it means to care for others, meet needs, and love people well. This year, our goal is to give out over 1,000 sandwiches, and be a hub to provide valuable resources and support to our community.

Want to donate or partner with us? Send us a message!

Looking to volunteer and serve alongside us? We’d love to have you. Send us a message to get involved!

Together, we can make an impact, one sandwich and one person at a time. 🙌🏽
