Joining with the United Church of Christ and other national and international organizations, we are able to expand our giving reach and impact by supporting service and relief organizations when and where they need it the most. The following yearly offerings provide funds for when they are needed:
- One Great Hour of Sharing
- Neighbors in Need
- Church World Service
- Christmas Offering (partnering with a different recipient each year)
- Disaster Assistance Fund
In addition, we also support the following organizations:
- Ecumenical Hunger Program: Provide food, blankets, and Christmas celebration supplies for families
- Mid-Peninsula Boys & Girls Club: Provide computers and school supplies for stay-at-home schooling; help set up a vegetable and flower garden
- Puente de la Costa Sur: Provide for basic needs in the San Mateo County and South Coast Communities
