Preparing a meal for the homeless
First Baptist partners with a wide variety of organizations as part of its outreach to the community and to the larger world. Some of this partnering includes direct involvement, such as preparing meals for the homeless, delivering meals to the elderly, serving as mentors and counselors to those making the transition to a more stable life, serving on boards, committees, and taskforces. Some of this partnering involves financial support.
