CARITAS

“Congregations Around Richmond Involved To Assure Shelter”
CARITAS is an emergency shelter program for homeless adults and families in the region in search of income, affordable housing, and hope during a devastating personal crisis. This organization enables member congregations to provide shelter and hospitality to homeless people in the Richmond area. Do you have an interest in reaching out to those who need a place to “lay their head”? CARITAS Volunteers are always needed.  Click here for more information, or Contact Jamie Mitchell.

CLOTHES CLOSET

Donate your seasonal clothes to our clothes closet. We are looking for adult as well as children’s clothing that is distributed to various groups we reach out to.  Drop off your donations at the front Welcome Center. Contact Laverne Breeden or Anna Clark.

ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE 

This team concentrates on teaching conversational English so that students may function better on the telephone, in the work place, and on a face to face basis with people they encounter. With each person there is an opportunity to minister to their needs and express that we care about them because of Christ’s love. Often lives are changed and enduring friendships are built.  Click here for more information.  

FOOD PANTRY 

The Food Pantry enables our congregation to address hunger issues in our community by the on-going collection of food items, which are then available for needy persons who come by the church or for distribution through the ministries of the Richmond Baptist mission centers.  Bring your food donations to the church and leave them at the front Welcome Center. Contact Carol Alley.

The Casserole Ministry is an outreach available to Second Baptist Families and the extended community for anyone needing support during health or personal hardship.  Team Facilitator: Kathy Spotts
