Food Pantry
Help this just-started program provide families from the wider Keeling neighborhood once a month with a bag of much-needed groceries. A large staff of volunteers work up to 3 hours at each monthly event. Done in partnership with the school and the Community Food Bank. The Food Bank generally provides the food that is distributed but our congregation supplemented the supplies in April 2018 with 150 boxes of Cheerios and other cereals.
"Backpack" Nutrition Program
Pack a weekly nutrition supplement for 100 students who might not receive enough to eat on weekends. Program runs every week of the school year. Church volunteers each put in 2 hours one afternoon per month.
Habitat for Humanity
Periodically assist this national program in the construction of affordable housing on the southside of Tucson. Habitat brings people together to build better communities by building homes through partnership with local organizations, including churches like us, and low-income families.
Primavera Men's Shelter
Work with a small group once a month to prepare and serve dinner for 100+ homeless men at a shelter on the southside of Tucson.

TIHAN
Assist along with a number of churches in the Poz Café, a monthly lunch for people living with HIV to get out of the house, take a break, meet other positive people and enjoy themselves. We also assist by donating various personal hygiene products, paper towels and household items. TIHAN provides compassionate and non-judgmental service to those affected by HIV/AIDS.
