Helping Others Rise Against Hunger

Our Mission Highlight for November is hunger awareness.

Yesterday, our church family joined forces for good with our neighbors from West End Islamic Center to pack 40,000 meals to be sent across the globe. Since the beginning of our partnership with the non-profit group Rise Against Hunger (formerly Stop Hunger Now) Christ Church has purchased and packed...147,290 meals!  Yup, you read that right.  We've help send 147,290 meals to impoverished places all over the world, filling bellies with nutritious food and filling hearts with hope.

Thanks, too, to everyone who donated to our Food Drive for The Sophie House. Thanks to your generosity, we gathered more food than was needed to put together Thanksgiving Baskets for our community partner just down the street. That means that in addition to providing Thanksgiving Baskets for single mothers and their children, we will be able to add to The Sophie House pantry and provide food throughout the season.

Thank you for helping us Be the Church!
