KAC Serves has not shut down during the COVID-19 Crisis! The compassion ministries of the church (Clothe Me Co-Op, Shelterless, & Table of Grace - now called KAC Serves) have partnered together and have been working and running stronger than ever blessing WNY individuals and families during this time.

 

WHAT WE ARE DOING:

Volunteer teams are collecting, sanitizing, organizing, and packing emergency personal hygiene, toiletry, baby/toddler care, & food supplies at the church, and then handing them out two ways: via a drive-up service at the church and to the homeless/temporarily sheltered through our Shelterless Ministry. Additional volunteers are making sandwiches and to-go meals for homeless and street ministry.
