Support a Group Meal

Ongoing
Donate Food/Meals
Help create a warm, hospitable, and relaxing environment for a local women's evening community group! Sharing a meal together breaks down barriers and fosters a deep sense of belonging and care. For many of these resilient women, rushing to a growth and healing class after a long day of work or classes means worrying about dinner. By providing a healthy meal or a spread of snacks, you ease their evening burden and allow them to focus completely on their personal growth and community connection.

Ongoing
Donate Food/MealsFood ServiceOrganizeRelational
Support Olive Crest Foster Families by ensuring they receive one meal each month for one year. Foster families do so much for the children in their care and this is a wonderful opportunity for a small group or family to commit to taking care of dinner just one time per month. This small act gives families a breath of fresh air and one less thing to worry about for one night. Through this journey, we ask volunteers to also commit to praying for the foster families throughout the month.
