Sometimes when we preach and proclaim the love of Christ to our family, friends, neighbors and co-workers, we use words. Most of the time, the message comes from our lives and the work of service to others. Our efforts include:

Christmas in July!

75 Shoebox Gifts (our goal) for children ages birth through 4 years in foster placement were delivered Tuesday morning!

The staff at Christian Family Care Phoenix Location were so delighted with the Shoeboxes and your amazing generosity in sharing HIS love with these little ones.

The Shoeboxes will be distributed this month when the school age children in foster placement receive a backpack. “Thank You”!

I-HELP

I-HELP (Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Program) provides over 6,700 emergency shelter nights to homeless adults. A case management program connects homeless individuals to the vital resources, such as employment and housing needed to regain stability and break the vicious cycle of homelessness.

Volunteers buy food, cook it at home, and bring it to Holy Trinity Lutheran Church on the first Thursday of each month from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Holy Trinity is located at 739 W Erie ST, Chandler, 85225. Enter the Kitchen’s orange door off of Flint St. Volunteers then serve the meal, eat with clients, and clean up afterwards. The menu varies each month. To volunteer email: info@epiphanychandler.org
