On Tuesday, September 19th it will be our turn to serve our unsheltered neighbors a meal, starting at 5:30pm.  

We always welcome any, and all, volunteers who would like to help us put together the meals, serve the meals, and clean up afterwards.  It is never an easy job, but it is rewarding to share what we have with those in our neighborhood who are in need.  We follow the words in Matthew 25:35, where Jesus told to the disciples on Mount Olive:

“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me,”
 
We invite you to come and help us to fulfill Jesus’ words to all the world.

Ozark Food Harvest -
2022 Lenten Fish Drive

This Lenten Season, Central Christian Church will join with Ozarks Food Harvest from March 13 – April 24 with the annual Lenten Fish Drive.  In 2015, the community began “fishing” for struggling families and neighbors through a food drive that collects high-protein fish products during Lent.

Collected fish items will benefit the one in five children and one in seven adults who face food insecurity in the Ozarks. Fish contains many nutrients and has a high protein value, and it is requested by many people who receive food assistance through our network of 270 hunger-relief partners.

If you would like to donate online, please click on the 'Online Giving' tab above and follow the instructions.
