NICU PARENT CARE BASKETS

The NICU is the last place a new parent expects to end up at the birth of their newborn.  Most are unprepared and feel lost in the moment.  We have an opportunity to shine a little light and hope into this uncertain time for them!  Come and prepare care baskets and write encouraging notes to these precious people that they will receive in their time of need.  We are also collecting items for these baskets each Sunday leading up to Serve Our City Day 

BETHANY CHRISTIAN SERVICES

BABY SHOWER!  ​Bethany Christian Services exists to demonstrate the love and compassion of Jesus Christ by protecting and enhancing the lives of children and families through quality social services.  This includes aiding young and unprepared moms when they have made the decision to keep and care for their baby.  We will be holding a baby shower for a young, expectant mother that could use some help and hope!

LOCAL BUSINESS BLITZ

Crossroads Church is the "new kid in town" at the Village Square Shopping Center and our hope is to build relationships with neighboring business!  We'll be assembling and delivering gift baskets to each of these businesses and hopefully making some friendly introductions and building rapport with our new neighbors!  Let's show them some love!

HOPE HOUSE REFRESH

Hope House is an incredible organization that quickly helps move women and children from homelessness to housing.  We have the opportunity to make an improvement to the living conditions of their residents by giving their home a little TLC!   We'll be pitching in to refresh and beautify their property by planting, raking, picking up trash, etc.  Make sure to wear clothes you can get dirty!​

FREDERICKSBURG FOOD BANK

The Fredericksburg Food Bank exists to feed the hungry through a community-wide network of partner agencies and engage our community in the fight to end hunger.  We will be supporting this awesome organization by holding a food drive in front of the Giant at Harrison Crossing!  What an incredible opportunity to make a direct impact on the lives of precious people in need!
​

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY 

Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope.  Let's lend our hands and our hearts to build a home for a deserving family in need!

MICAH MINISTRIES

In response to God’s call to do justice, to love kindness and to walk humbly with God (Micah 6:8), Micah Ecumenical Ministries was formed to provide a holistic system of care for our homeless community.  This includes connection to community resources, mental health outreach, disability application assistance, post-hospital respite care, supportive employment, educational advancement, housing placement and re-creation of the support systems necessary for people to stabilize outside of their present crisis. We will be supporting this incredible ministry by organizing and cleaning up their furniture warehouse.​

TREASURE HOUSE SCHOOL SUPPLIES

Treasure House serves over 500 homeless children and their families within Spotsylvania County Schools.  Located behind Massaponax High School in a mobile trailer, their space is set up like a store where families can shop for free because all items are 100% community donated.  We will be collecting much needed school supplies for the homeless children in our area.
