Previous Missions:

CONTRA COSTA FOOD BANK
The Food Bank of Contra Costa provides ongoing nutritional support throughout the region. It was a bit warm sorting breads from bins to pallets, and then bagging onions, potatoes, and apples into bags, or crating the completed bags. We handled with care about 7,300 pounds of bread and produce. Thanks to our church mission team for organizing this opportunity to serve! 

MISSION TRIP TO ASSIST RECOVERY FROM THE CAMP FIRE

The Camp Fire in November 2018, was the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history. 

We helped rebuild. We worked in the town of Paradise alongside Hope Crisis Response Network (HCRN).

BACKPACK DRIVE

San Ramon Valley United Methodist Church helped at-risk students start the school year off right by donating 50 backpacks with $800 worth of supplies!  Donations benefited Monument Crisis Center, a family resource center in Concord that provides food, and education to individuals, families, and children in need. 

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
On June 25th, volunteers served at the affordable housing project called Esperanza Place with Habitat for Humanity!  Despite the blistering sun, volunteers wired rebar together for the concrete foundation.  That’s teamwork!

 

 

 

MONUMENT CRISIS CENTER

On April 20th 2022, a group of 5 volunteers helped assemble packages of food for over 120 Monument Crisis Center (MCC) clients in Concord, CA.  Our church supports MCC’s work via volunteer opportunities and monetary donations.  Join us for further opportunities as they become available.

 

HOPE UMC MISSION PROJECT

Hope UMC has been serving Sacramento for nearly 100 years. With a modest sized congregation it needs some help with maintenance. The proposed work is to remodel several Sunday School rooms – painting and new flooring, plus a few other things.  All tools and supplies will be provided. All you need to do is show up ready to paint. 

EARLY RESPONSE TEAM VIRTUAL TRAINING

Early Response Teams (ERTs) provide assistance after the “first
responders” and before recovery and rebuilding. ERTs are assigned various tasks; usually relating to safety, mitigation of further property damage and cleanup tasks. ERTs also serve in Local Assistance Centers providing comfort and items such as wildfire buckets to survivors.

BLOOD DRIVE 2022

The February Red Cross Blood Drive was a HUGE success! Thank you to all our awesome volunteers, donors, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for hosting!

NOMADS (Nomads On a Mission Active in Divine Service) are individuals and couples with Recreational Vehicles (RVs) who travel to places that need volunteer repairs and construction.

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY PLAYHOUSE BUILD PROJECT is an aspect of Habitat for Humanity that invites groups to build and donate playhouses to charities or individual families. The money raised goes towards the building of homes by Habitat For Humanity. To sponsor a playhouse, a group raises $2000 per playhouse, and then builds the playhouse themselves. The playhouses to be constructed are prefabricated, meaning most of the measuring and cutting has already been done. SRVUMC’s effort will focus on painting the playhouse and final assembly. Creative and artistic volunteers love this project! The theme of the playhouse is selected by the child or children who will be receiving the playhouse. Once a playhouse is designed, decorated, and assembled, it’s donated to the local children who requested the house’s theme. That moment—seeing children run in and out of their new, custom-designed playhouse—is the most memorable part of volunteering with the Playhouse program.
