We don’t do everything by ourselves- we are partners with various organizations across the wider Church and in the local community.

Our church members bring offerings of food every Sunday. The food is blessed in our worship, and taken to the Sycamore Food Bank, which distributes nutritious food to residents of Sycamore who are hungry.

On a regular basis our members cooperate to prepare a nutritious hot dinnertime meal for the residents of Hope Haven, an emergency and transitional shelter for homeless individuals and families in DeKalb County.
