Call the church office in November if you know of someone in need of some extra food to fill their Thanksgiving table.

There are many opportunities including preparing snacks, leading a group leader, telling stories through drama, helping with games, taking pictures, and more!
Prayer Team
There is a team at Kingwood that prays for our members, visitors, and community. They meet monthly, but pray daily. They perform a vital function lifting up needs and concerns before our great God. They have seen many answers to prayer. God does heal miraculously just like he did when Jesus walked on Earth. There is nothing that is too great for our God!
The Prayer Team is open to people dedicated to the Kingwood family.

Food Assistance
Bethesda Food Pantry
We opened our doors for Food for Lane County in April 2010 for twice monthly distribution of food and other basic necessities. We primarily staff distribution with our own volunteers, but are happy to welcome volunteers from outside Bethesda. The number of family members served has grown from 52 the first month to 556 in March 2012. This reflects the unfortunate reality of our local economy and reaffirms the great need for faith to express itself in loving service.
The following items are very beneficial to our clients, but are scarcely available from Food for Lane County:
Tomato Sauce
Spaghetti Sauce
Tuna Fish
Canola Oil
Toilet Paper
Toothpaste
Shampoo
Bonus: Cat & Dog food
Donations can be brought during church office hours in containers convenient for transferring to the appropriate storage location.

Alameda Baptist Church Food Pantry
The Food Pantry is open Tuesdays & Thursdays from 10:00 a.m. to Noon by prearranged appointment for those who have a Norman or Noble zip code. If you are on Wick, Reduced School Lunches, Food Stamps, or make less than the Regional Food Bank Gross Income LImits, you automatically qualify for Food Assistance.

Hunger affects people of all ages, especially our community's senior citizens -- many of whom are living on fixed incomes. Without help, many older adults are forced to choose between heating their homes, purchasing much needed prescriptions, and putting food on the table. We try to help by meeting the nutritional, emotional, and spiritual needs of families through food and personal care items.

MEALS ON WHEELS
Each Tuesday morning a loyal group meets at the building to prepare a meal that will be delivered to people all across our community. It is a program that involves a great deal of effort and produces a lot of goodwill. The volunteers look forward to their deliveries but not as much as the recipients. It is a chance to have interaction with a caring person. Often it is the most important event in an elderly person’s day. Jesus knew the importance of meeting physical needs, and as our wonderful volunteers go about their tasks they carry the loving concern of the Master. Envision how God can use you as a “Point of Light” in this great ministry.
