COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT VITAL TO THE LIFE OF KIRKWOOD
On special holidays, meals are prepared and delivered to Hospice patients. Thanksgiving and Christmas are especially looked forward to by all. It takes a small army to prepare, package and deliver the goodies, and the rewards are greater than words can ever tell.
Thanksgiving and Christmas food baskets are supplied through the Family Partnership Organization.
Manatee Religious Services is a vital part of our community mission support program. Through them we are able to discern appropriate need for families and individuals and distribute help from special funds. (see Community – Those in Need)
The Bloodmobile comes to Kirkwood on a regularly scheduled basis on Sunday mornings from 9:00 AM until 12:30 p.m. Please contact us for the current schedule (794-6229).
On the fourth Sunday of each month, members of our congregation serve lunch at Our Daily Bread of Bradenton. This is a service in which we have helped for a number of years. Our Daily Bread is also an important part of our Mission giving.
Many other individual and group activities within the community are supported by time, talent and giving by our members.
