Community Outreach

Arm In Arm is a place where the community comes together to make sure all have the most basic needs of food and shelter. We have monthly opportunities to serve with Arm In Arm by preparing non-perishable food packages for those in need. We get to provide the manpower behind the packing! Prep and packing sessions will take place from 10am - 12pm on the 3rd Saturday of every month. Click the link below to learn more and sign-up to serve with us.
