Connecting in Downey -- The Master's Hand

I had a great time of connecting today with Bob Varden a HIGHLY active volunteer from the Masters Hand in Downey. The Masters Hand is a food and clothing bank started by Dave and Kathleen Chappell and supported by several churches in Downey:
  • First Baptist Downey
  • First Presbyterian Church of Downey
  • Downey First Christian Church
  • Abundant Hope Church

Wednesday through Friday of each week a team of volunteers provides food and clothing to folks who are in crisis or in financially challenging times. They also work closely with the Southern California Rehabilitation Services an agency that serves the elderly and disabled in the community surrounding Downey with food services, peer counseling, housing coordination, assistive technology and paperwork for government benefits.

I am excited to connect more with this dynamic ministry and see how Kingdom Causes can help support the great work that they are doing!
