YEARLY MISSIONS
CarePortal
Carrollton First serves families in need in our community through CarePortal. CarePortal is an online portal, in which needs of families are vetted and posted by DFCS. People on the email list can respond to these needs via email. The needs vary. Some examples include $25 for a birth certificate, children’s clothes, a mattress, gift cards, and more. All we need is your email address for you to start receiving notifications of the needs requested. If you are interested in being a part of CarePortal, please contact Emily Cole at emilyjocole@gmail.com
Great Day of Service
Annually, we hold a day of service, in which we serve our local community and beyond. We complete all kinds of service projects, such as home repair for the elderly, packing “blessing bags” for our homeless neighbors, baking and packaging cookies for our local first responders, making gift bags for our homebound church members, and so much more. If you would like to learn more about our Great Day of Service, please contact our Associate Pastor, Rev. Sam Dawkins.
Rise Against Hunger
Annually, we hold a Rise Against Hunger Meal Packing Event at Carrollton First. We pack 20,000 meals for starving children around the world. We partner with the organization called Rise Against Hunger. (riseagainsthunger.org) All ages are welcome to participate. If you are interested in learning more about our Rise Against Hunger meal packing event, please contact our Associate Pastor, Rev. Sam Dawkins.
Dixie’s Pantry (Backpack Ministry)
