Thanksgiving & Christmas Food Boxes

Once again, OCEC is providing Thanksgiving and Christmas meals to families in need in our City. Please bring donations of non-perishable food, both for holiday meals and basic staples, and drop them off in the barrel in the lobby. Donations are also needed to purchase turkeys for the boxes, and volunteers are needed to help deliver the Thanksgiving boxes on Nov. 20th. Accepting donations until December 4th.

Sponsor a Christmas Gift Shopping Day

This year, OCEC is providing Christmas gifts for children from families in need, but their parents are going to get to do the shopping! We are sponsoring a shopping day for the parents to pick out their child's gift and then bring it back to the church to wrap it for their child to open on Christmas. We are collecting donations to purchase gift cards for the families, as well as donations of gift wrapping supplies. We also need volunteers to host a family as they shop or help with gift wrapping at the church on December 10th. Accepting donations until December 4th. Any Questions?
