COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
At Orchard Park Community Church we believe serving others is at the core of the call to follow Jesus Christ. Based on this belief we have partnered with the following organizations to tangibly share the love of God to those in the Western New York area and beyond.
FEED MORE WNY
Donations of Food and Funds
In the spring of 2020 we as a church decided to hold a virtual food drive to support the efforts of Feed More WNY as they dealt with the increased need in the community as a result of the Covid-19 crisis. Through online and mail-in giving from our congregation we were able to raise $960, and are proud to assist this incredibly organization.
ST LUKE'S MISSION OF MERCY
Monthly Sandwich Sundays
The first Sunday of each month we gather together as a congregation to make sandwiches for St Luke's Mission of mercy, who then distributes them to members of our community who are in need.
PEACE OF THE CITY MINISTRIES
Donations from fund raisers
As we raise funds throughout the year, we support the incredibly important work being done by Peace of the City Ministries in the city of Buffalo.
BREAD OF LIFE OUTREACH
Volunteering and Financial Support
We support through donations and the volunteer efforts of our members, the work that Bread of Life Outreach does to meet the needs of the Colden, NY area and beyond.
SUPPORT FOR THE AFGHAN/UKRAINIAN EVACUEES
Helping our new neighbors
Afghan evacuees are arriving in Buffalo. Several local organizations have come together and formed Buffalo United for Afghan Evacuees to assist people with resettlement. They are seeking the support of the community to help these vulnerable families with shelter, clothing, and food. Orchard Park Community Church is collecting donations for the Afghan Evacuees throughout the four-week Advent season, November 28 through December 24, 2021.
