Community Outreach

Community Outreach is reaching out into the community in many different ways. A Thanksgiving Street Banquet and a Christmas Street Banquet provide meals to the homeless, poor and needy. The Mission serves between 1,500 to 2,500 traditional holiday meals at each banquet. Music and testimonies present the Gospel message while guests enjoy their hot meals. Activities for children create a festive and enjoyable atmosphere for all. Over 650 volunteers are utilized to prepare and serve the meals at both banquets. Christmas gifts are provided to children at the Christmas Banquet.
