· Homeless Shelter Services - In our continued relationship with the Homeless Shelter Services we have assisted to provide housing, meals, decorating for the residence rooms, and made regular donations of toiletries and gently used towels.

· Second Harvest Food Bank -Through our Charlie Cheddar Egg Fund we have contributed financially to the Second Harvest Food Bank at a significant level, having previously won a church contributor church award two years in a row. Also, we have collected food several times each year in our food barrel drives.

· CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) and Above The Line - We have partnered with both of these organizations making donations and gifts to make a difference for local children who are at risk or have been disadvantaged by abuse and neglect. We admire and support the dedication of volunteers who help to provide stabilizing support and hope to the children in our foster care system.

· Refugee Outreach –Through our mission budget, our church community has partnered with Catholic Charities to help with refugee settlement in the San Jose Presbytery by providing welcome backpacks. We assembled them with essential and useful items including toiletries, writing and mailing supplies, socks, quarter rolls, maps and calendars. We also made donations to provide public transportation bus passes.

· Summer Music Camp - Each summer we offer a one week Music Camp where students learn many music skills. Music Camp is open to all students entering grades 1-6.
