We are comprised of approximately 75 volunteers who give their time and talents to make HUGS and prepare care packages. We pack and ship approximately 50 care packages monthly. Each customized package contains items specifically needed and requested by our troops in remote areas where base stores are non-existent or under-supplied.

Serving Saturdays

We see Jesus change our community when we serve our neighbors with compassion! That's why our whole campus is serving Elkhart County together on one day. We'll send out groups of people to partner with our supported local agencies for the morning. Wear your "Jesus Changes Lives" T-shirt if you have one and pick where you'd like to help. Sign up for the next Serving Saturday on the Events Page!
