MINISTRIES: HUNGER, HOMELESS, HEALTH

Bethel is intimately involved in the life of our community and participates in several programs for the hungry, homeless, or otherwise needy.

• About six times a year children and adults from Bethel bag canned and dry foods at the Arlington Food Assistance Center (www.AFACinfo.org) for weekly distribution to needy families.  See pictures from AFAC bagging

• Bethelites are among the many volunteers who work at the Arlington Free Clinic (www.arlingtonfreeclinic.org), where uninsured residents of Arlington with low or no income may obtain health care.
  

• Arlington's Residential Program Center (RPC) provides temporary shelter for homeless men and women. Bethel hosts a cookout at RPC every fall and other events intermittently. Bethel has been involved with RPC in various ways for a number of years.  Recently toiletries were collected and delivered to the Center.
