This mission group responds both locally and across the country to aid in early response, recovery, and rebuilding efforts. While we welcome anyone who is willing to serve in mission, due to the nature of the outreach, volunteers must be 18 or older to participate. Some disaster response trips (ERT) requires prior certification; others provide onsite training.

Blessing Boxes are outdoor, publicly located cabinets that allow for people to anonymously donate items to bless others in need. It’s an effort to reach out and connect to our community, and to include everyone! We are excited for this new ministry in sharing blessings with each other through not only food and hygiene items, but also with creating a prayer box and an information center to further connect others to needed services.
The motto of a Blessing Box is, “Take what you need. Leave what you can. But above all, be blessed.”
