Food Drive: OC Rescue Mission

We have a wonderful opportunity for you to help those in need during this holiday season. Our annual food drive partnership with the OC Rescue Mission is happening now through December 3rd.

When you come to church on Sunday, you’ll see food drive barrels outside the sanctuary in the narthex. See below for a full list of nonperishable items needed for donation.

Monetary gifts are also accepted and appreciated. To donate, please visit our Giving page and choose “OC Rescue Mission” from the Fund dropdown menu.
