love your neighbor
Love Your Neighbor is a ministry that builds hope and changes lives by loving our neighbors as ourselves. Our Love Your Neighbor ministry is made up of teams of volunteers who serve our community in creative ways. Our teams provide love to our community through community dinners, home repairs, food pantry, random acts of kindness, local school support, adopt a block, baked goods, blood drives, community clean ups, and adult foster care teams.

This team will be working closely with the Bread of Life Food Pantry to help support them with needs that they have.

This team may also help with supporting other community organizations with their pantry type needs as well.

This team will be organizing random acts of kindness throughout the community to share the heart of Jesus with all those touched by one of these random gifts.
