IN OUR COMMUNITY
Below is a list of some of the ways we seek to show God's love to others in our community:
The Blessing Box seeks to serve those individuals who are homeless and in need of immediate care and do not have ongoing support resources. We seek to do this by supplying ready to eat and use items that can be used without much preparation.
Suggested donations include:
| Spam | Vienna sausages | tuna / chicken | small packs of cookies / crackers | protein bars |
| small indivdual cereal packages | Ramen noodle cups | EZ open canned meals | Lunchables (non-refrigerated) | mac-n-cheese cups |
| small hand sanitizer | gum | cough drops |
The Lord's Cupboard serves area families in need that cannot make ends meet. We seek to do this by assisting through donations of basic groceries, personal hygiene items and household cleaning supplies.
Suggested donations include:
| soup | canned vegetables | diced tomatoes | pork and beans |
| canned pasta and meat | canned fruit | tuna fish | Spam |
| beef stew | peanut butter | jelly | boxed pasta |
| spaghetti sauce | rice | cereal (no larger than 14-15 oz.) | apple juice |
| powdered milk | bar soap | dish detergent | shampoo |
| toothpaste/toothbrushes | toilet tissue |
Our West Rehoboth Ministry efforts seek to serve the under-privileged children of the community around LCOS. We seek to do this through our support of the West Rehoboth Youth Program with food donations that help feed the children. We also support the social and educational programs through donations of individual items as requested and through ongoing financial support.
Suggested donations include:
| fruit cups | pudding packs | small treats (i.e. gummy bears) | canned soups |
| canned pasta and meat | canned tuna | canned beans | small bottles of water |
| small cans of juice | paper towels | toilet paper | sanitizer wipes |
