Fundraiser for Servant's Heart

Fundraising goal: $35,000

Servant's Heart Ministry feeds and clothes individuals and families in need throughout our community, sharing the love of Christ through practical acts of compassion.

Every two weeks, we provide free food hampers to nearly 100 families, helping ensure they have food on the table when they need it most. We also host a free clothing market three times each year, giving people access to quality clothing with dignity and care.

All proceeds go directly to Servant's Heart Ministry as we work toward our goal of raising $35,000 to purchase a dedicated food delivery truck. This truck will help us reach more families, deliver food safely and efficiently, and continue bringing hope to those who need it most.
