We provide to our local community by:

  2. collecting non-perishable food weekly for the Inland Valley Hope Partners, along with a monthly collection of loose change which we call the “noisy offering”;

  3. supporting and participating in the Annual Walk for Hunger and Homeless;

  4. collecting items for our Easter gift bags (socks, chapstick, lotion, and Kleenex) for both long-term and short-term residents of the Claremont Care Center; and,
