Local Missions

 

There are many opportunities for you to become involved in local missions. Through Ocoee Outreach, Ocoee Resort Ministries, Project Helping Hands, and other Church & Community Ministry projects.

Ocoee Outreach

A ministry that reaches out to needy families in the Cleveland area through home repair. Each summer teams come from all over the Southern United States to do roofing, painting, building wheel chair ramps, and many other home repair projects. They also reach these families with the love of Jesus Christ. Local teams are needed to help. To learn more about Ocoee Outreach, you visit their website.

The above ministry needs the following donations: bottled water, bottled Gatorade, snack cakes, unfrozen popsicles/pop-ice. If you or your church would like to make a donation, they may be dropped off at CrossNet Baptist Network.

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program

The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program offers free tax help to people who generally make $54,000 or less, persons with disabilities, the elderly and limited English speaking taxpayers who need assistance in preparing their own tax returns. IRS-certified volunteers provide free basic income tax return preparation with electronic filing to qualified individuals. The program usually starts in late January or early Februrary each year and runs through April. For more information and an appointment, please call our office at 423-476-5493 during those times.

Project Helping Hands

Helps low income families who are struggling to make ends meet during the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays. Volunteers from our churches work various stations during the application process that includes sharing the Gospel and also making home visits to verify and discover needs. One of the beautiful things about PHH is the way it identifies families in need and connects them with churches, companies, groups or individuals who will come along side them to provide basic necessities and a little more. Call Lynda Davis at 423-641-1865 if you would like to help in this ministry.
