Firm Foundations Romania is reaching out to help with the relief efforts for to their neighbors to the north as they flee the war.
Thank you to everyone who gave to help the Ukrainian people. Because of your generosity, refugees fleeing their homes into the unknown are able to find hope and a future.
Thanksgiving Baskets (2024)
Each Thanksgiving season, we have the wonderful opportunity to bless families in our community with a Thanksgiving basket filled with all of the “fixings.” Families who could use help purchasing Thanksgiving dinner for their families sign up or are nominated by a friend or family member. Then, on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, we gather as a church to assemble and deliver the baskets, taking the opportunity to pray with and over each family. Through your generosity we delivered over 200 meals that impacted our valley.
