Partnering with Our Community

We believe lasting impact happens when we serve together. That’s why we’ve built strong partnerships with local organizations—like food banks, shelters, and schools—to meet the needs of our neighbors and bring hope in tangible ways.

Whether you have a heart for feeding families, mentoring students, or supporting those experiencing crisis, there’s a place for you to make a difference.
