Chalice collects ongoing material donations for Interfaith Community Services and Center for Community Solutions. We collect non-perishable food, diapers, baby food, and children’s clothing. The collection bins are in our Fellowship Kitchen.

Chalice volunteers prepare and serve a monthly dinner at Haven House, Interfaith Community Services’ Year-Round Emergency Shelter. Volunteers are encouraged to dine with Haven House residents, sharing fellowship and providing support.

The weekend of October 26-27, 24 Chalice congregants and friends traveled to Tijuana to work with Casas de Luz to build a 16×24 sf home for a single mother with five young children.
