The church's social services program runs a modest food pantry and helps families with utility bills when funds allow. Volunteers, mostly from the congregation, sort donations and staff a small thrift store that supports the outreach. Caseworkers meet with folks facing hard times, offering practical help like rental assistance or referrals to job training programs, always with respect and no pressure to join the church.
