City Mission
Are you looking for a service project that you can do from the comfort of your home? If so, consider making a meal for the homeless sheltered at the City Mission. Containers and recipes (if needed) are available in the church narthex (on the shelf next to the Lost and Found box). You prepare a meal for the size container and bring it to the church’s kitchen freezer. We will then deliver it to the City Mission. For information about the City Mission and other ways to help, visit their website.
Needs at the City Mission - There is an urgent need at the City Mission for diapers sizes 4, 5, & 6. They have 13 children currently and 2 arriving on Saturday. This includes 8 in diapers and so the need is great at the moment to fulfill this request. Your donations can be dropped off in the narthex and will be promptly delivered to them.

Blessings in a Backpack

Did you know that 1 in 6 children do not get the food they need every day? Through school-organized programs, Blessings in a Backpack helps by providing food to children who do not have enough to eat over the weekend. Our Redeemer collects your donations in support of the program at Ringgold Elementary School North so that they can send home bags of 8-10 food items to supplement weekend diets for the kids. Current needs:
