Brad Riner Assistance Office

Brad Riner
The Brad Riner Assistance Office began as a memorial to Brad Riner, a young member of the church and avid hiker. In 1975, Brad was hiking in the Grand Canyon and passed away while hiking. Brad was 22 years old. We thank you for your consideration and continued support of the Riner Office and your compassion for the hungry children of God.

  • Canned meals with flip tops, cans of soup with flip tops, candy, granola bars, cookies, chips, canned chicken, canned meat, cases of bottled water, Propel Water, Gatorade, Powerade, Peanut Butter, and Jelly.

Christmas Care Backpacks
Planning for the Annual Christmas Care Backpacks for the homeless is now underway. Monetary donations are much appreciated. We are also collecting new socks, hygiene products including toothpaste, toothbrushes, and mouth wash. We are also in need of new gloves/mittens, knit caps, and scarves. Donations can be dropped off at the church. Thank you fo your spirit of giving during this Christmas season.
