family sharing
Family Sharing is a food pantry and resale shop that provides food, clothing, and other essential items at no cost to people in need in Ozaukee County. Approximately 42,000 pounds of food is distributed to 600 households per month, as well as nearly $6,000 worth of clothing, household items, and furniture. None of this could be accomplished without tons of community volunteers.
From the very start, our church has partnered with Family Sharing through annual financial support, hundreds of pounds of donated foods, and volunteering. Our team serves at Family Sharing monthly to help sort food for the pantry. We would love for you to be a part of the good that is being done here.
OZAUKEE FOOD ALLIANCE
Ozaukee Food Alliance is successfully run by a group of committed volunteers. If you would like to be part of this amazing group, please submit the volunteer application.
We invite you and your talents to serve in the following areas at the pantry:
Food Pantry Helpers
Meal Site Food Preparation and Serving
Back-to-School Drive Organizers & Helpers
Mobile Food Pantry Setup and Distribution
Food Pantry Special Committees
ADVOCATES OF OZAUKEE
There are so many ways to help the Advocates, and not just donations (though, monetary and goods donations are always VERY much appreciated and in demand). From sending money safely from your checking account or a credit card via PayPal, to donating your time and volunteering, to using GoodSearch earning pennies everytime you search online, to GoodShop where a portion of your purchase goes straight to Advocates ... there are so many ways to help.
ADRC of OZAUKEE
The Aging and Disability Resource Center of Ozaukee County is governed by the people it serves. We strive to support consumer choice through the provision of information and assistance and through options counseling. We provide consumers with the tools they need to make informed decisions in order to maintain as much control over their lives as possible.
Our mission is to provide a one-stop source of information and assistance for older adults, adults with disabilities, their families, friends, and caregivers by advocating for and linking them with resources and services that enable them to live as independently as possible.
Jail ministry
This is an amazing way to love and support those who do not know the Lord. It is a team of people who serve in four distinct areas:
1. A weekly Bible-based recovery program for men and women in the Ozaukee County Jail.
2. Sunday Services in three Wisconsin prisons: Dodge, Kettle Moraine, and Taycheedah.
3. A bi-weekly Bible study at Teen Challenge residential house for women.
4. A weekly Bible study at WINDS sober living house for women.
Love God. Love others. Period.
belize missions
In partnership with other Vineyard churches, we have been working to identify and address basic needs in some of the poorest communities in Belize (e.g., healthcare, education). These efforts go hand-in-hand with the work of raising up leaders and growing healthy, indigenously led churches.
There are a number of ways you can participate in our work there, and we send teams down to Belize on a regular basis. We are excited about what the future holds for the Vineyard in Belize.
