Community Clean-up

the Closet

Senior Ministry

Church Without
Walls

At Gift we have a number of different programs which are currently running and also a large number that we plan to start in the future. We currently have four existing programs, which fall into three different need groups.

The first need group is the Community. We have developed a program focused on improving the community through volunteer run activities, such as graffiti clean-up, trash pick-up, weed pulling, tree trimming, etc. This program has been in existence for about 4 years, and our long term plans for this program are to have one in every community in the Inland Valley, and we do not intend to stop there!

The second group we have established is our Physical Needs group. We have two programs developed towards reaching our goals in this area. The first is the Closet, which is a program that takes in donated clothing and then sorts and distributes it to organizations that work directly with people in many areas, from Los Angeles to San Bernardino Counties. The long range plan for this program is to eventually acquire a warehouse to store the clothes and act as home-base for all transactions. We plan to donate to organizations all across the world, as much as resources allow!

The second program is one that we have recently started. It is a direct outreach of the Closet to the local community. Once a month we provide clothes directly to the local community through the Closet Outreach, a store located at the Flipside Offices. All clothes are free to those who attend. The Closet Outreach is held on the fourth Saturday of the month at 1:00pm.

The third and final group we have developed is an Emotional and Spiritual Needs group. We have up and running a program focused on caring for the needs of the senior citizen population. We currently visit a Senior home called The Rudolph Hendrix Apartments, where we have a bible study, make room visits to "shut-ins" and provide entertainment when possible. We plan to expand this program to as many senior communities as man-power will allow!

A second program we have to meet the spritual needs of the community is the Closet Outreach mentioned above where we have a short time of worship and instruction with prayer, prior to opening the Closet store.
