How can we benefit your church or ministry? We provide support services to help you in your community outreach. Our core programs are benevolence care, community food programs, and health and housing services. We can work with you to reach your community!
It is a blessing to offer community programs and services to our neighbors that are most vulnerable in the communities where our ministers serve.
Community Health and Housing Services for Those in Colusa, Glenn, Tehema and Butte Counties.
Benevolence Care for Those in Most Need, Colusa County.
Community Food Programs Serving Colusa, Glenn and Tehema Counties.
Our Benevolence Program is designed to stabilize the “4 walls” of a family, ensuring access to food, shelter, clothing, and transportation. Ministers, in consultation with a fellow minister, determine the necessary support within these areas, guided by their spiritual discernment. The program serves as a private benefit and acts as a “Payor of Last Resort,” providing essential aid when all other options have been exhausted.

Food Bank Trivia:
What’s the difference between a Food Bank, Food Pantry and Food Distribution?
Answer… While a Food Pantry and food distributions are like a Grocery Store that is free, a Food Bank is like the Distribution Center or Warehouse that supports grocery stores.
