Community
Many of our members help support and are actively involved with the following charities and missions:
Ghana Missionaries
Since 2006 our members have supported Steve and Kandie Taylor, in Yendi, Ghana, in their work with the Good News Child Center which gives well-child checkups and provides food for hungry babies. Their primary purpose is to work with local congregations, teaching and encouraging.
Churches of Christ Disaster Relief
The Churches of Christ Disaster Relief Effort immediately responds to any major disaster in the continental United States by sending truckloads of emergency food, water, cleaning, and other supplies to disaster victims.
Christian Relief Fund
Christian Relief Fund is a non-profit relief organization based in Amarillo, Texas with a focus on rescuing orphans and vulnerable children from poverty. CRF operates child sponsorship programs that are dedicated to providing food, clean water, education, spiritual training, healthcare and disaster relief to the glory of God worldwide.
Treasure House
Some of our members support and weekly volunteer at the Treasure House, a local food bank and retail outlet. The mission of Inter-Faith Treasure House is to help the less fortunate in our community by providing food, clothing, and emergency assistance to children and their families who are in crisis. Inter-Faith Treasure House is the safety net of the community.
Alcoholics Anonymous
Alcoholics Anonymous is an international fellowship of men and women who have had a drinking problem. It is nonprofessional, self-supporting, multiracial, apolitical, and available almost everywhere. There are no age or education requirements. Membership is open to anyone who wants to do something about his or her drinking problem.
Narcotics Anonymous
Narcotics Anonymous offers recovery to addicts around the world. They focus on the disease of addiction rather than any particular drug. Their message is broad enough to attract addicts from any social class or nationality.
Cocaine Anonymous
Cocaine Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from their addiction.
Alcoholics Victorious
Founded in 1948, Alcoholics Victorious support groups offer a safe environment for people recovering from the effects of alcoholism or drug addiction. We recognize Jesus Christ as our “Higher Power” and gather together to share our experience, faith, strength and hope. AV meetings use the 12 Steps, the Bible and the Alcoholics Victorious Creed.
Meals on Wheels
At the core of the Meals on Wheels service is a nutritious meal, companionship and a watchful eye on the health and safety of our seniors. For those who have trouble getting around, we bring the service to you. For those who can still venture out into their communities, we serve in gathering places, such as senior centers and community facilities.
City of Washougal Social Services
Some of our members donate and collect food to be delivered and distributed to those in need in our community.
City of Washougal School District
In August, our members collect backpacks and school supplies to be distributed by the Treasure House to needy children.
Life Line Screening
Their mission is to make people aware of unrecognized health problems and encourage them to seek follow-up care with their personal physician. They are the leading provider of community-based preventive health screenings in the United States.
