Food Pantry
SCBC's food pantry is well stocked to accommodate
the many families we help in and outside our church body.
Volunteers purchase fresh dairy, produce and meat products
to complement the many bags assembled from the pantry and
then delivered to the residence. We are able to offer them
a Gospel of John and other spiritual periodicals, along
with a local resource list for additional help. We also
can deliver prepared meals to those who are recovering from
illness, surgery or child birth.
Adopt-A-Family Ministry
During Christmas time we advertise and encourage our church
family to prepare boxes and have them delivered to hurting
people. We provide the names of the people in need. Last
year over 85 boxes of food and gifts were delivered.
Adopt-A-Senior Ministry
This ministry reaches out to SCBC seniors who are homebound
and on a low income. A volunteer brings food and personal
items to them every 2 weeks, visits with them as they build
a friendship bond, and seeks to encourage the senior in
their individual situation.
Financial Assistance
Families in need can request help (and/or financial counsel)
when they find themselves in a difficult financial situation.
An initial screening is done by the Benevolence department
and is usually followed by a meeting with the individual
to determine if, and/or how SCBC can be of assistance. We
have helped with rent, car repairs, utility bills, prescriptions
and gasoline. This ministry exists to provide food/non food
items and financial assistance to those truly in need. If
you request help, a Benevolence team member will contact
you, evaluate your situation, and enable you to get both
the short and long term help you need.
