COC runs one of the most longstanding and busiest food pantries in the area, as well as the region’s only diabetic food pantry. Hundreds of food bags are distributed weekly to hungry families. The food pantry has been serving the area continuously for over 20 years, staffed almost exclusively by dedicated volunteers.

Countless more lives are touched through feeding centers, health clinics, schools, and our Missions of Mercy. Together we are spreading God's love to the world.--We need your ongoing help to continue this life changing work. Donations are tax-deductible.
"He hath shown thee...what is good, and what does the Lord require of thee but
to do justly and to love mercy and walk humbly with thy God?" -Micah 6:8
