FOOD DRIVE

As part of the giving project at our upcoming Regional Gathering, the children’s program is organizing a food drive. We warmly encourage your church to participate and help us make a meaningful impact in our communities. All food collected will benefit Western Service Workers Association in Santa Ana, supporting their ongoing efforts to serve and uplift our immigrant community who have been impacted by the recent ICE raids. We ask that the donations be brought to our Regional Office the morning of October 18th. If you have any questions, please reach out to Rev. Cristina Flores at Cristina@chotf.org.
