The amount of assistance we can provide is dependent on the amount of support received in donations from the churches, businesses and individuals within our community. We reach out to the homeless and those in need of spiritual guidance through your tax deductible gifts and donations.
Many have asked, “How can we help?”:
- First and foremost, pray for us. Christ is the head of Cedaridge and we continue to strive to accomplish His Will. Continue to pray for our courage and strength as we struggle to repair our building and construct a warehouse.
- Second, financial contributions are always welcomed as we need funding to help meet the needs of our ministry. You can choose to offer a one-time gift, periodic gifts, or gifts to meet specific needs.
- Third, we always need items for our thrift store. We raise funding through the sale of these items. Items can range from good used clothing, furniture, housewares, books, working appliances, etc.
- Lastly, we need food and personal items for distribution to the needy. Food items of all kinds are needed (we cannot accept homemade canned goods). Personal and cleaning items are needed such as toothpaste, toilet paper, detergent, soap, shaving cream, and razors. Good mattresses and boxsprings are always in great demand.
If you would like to become involved in the support of our mission and open your heart to the less fortunate, we would honor your participation.
If you are able to help out with donations, we have partnered with PayPal to process online donations by clicking on the Donate button to the right. Or, if you prefer, you can mail a check to Cedaridge Ministries.
Thank you in advance for all that you do – and all that you will do – for the Kingdom of God in this community.
Sincerely,
Keith Decker
Building Fund
Cedaridge Ministries currently uses the buildings to process recycling, as a fundraiser for the ministry, and as a country store, which provides ministry funding and helps families with essential items needed to alleviate poverty and get them back on their feet. We have accomplished so much by being able to use these buildings. Now we need to raise the money for the buildings in use. Any help you can give us would be much appreciated.
Special Events
We host special events aimed at meeting physical and spiritual needs. At Thanksgiving we host a meal for the community. At Christmas we give away backpacks to school children filled with school supplies and gifts. In addition, we give food boxes to the families that visit filled with staples and supplies they may need for the holidays.
Food Boxes
As the Lord provides, we give food boxes filled with staples and produce during special events and throughout the year. These boxes contain food items that we are able to obtain for the best possible prices. The boxes contain a variety of items such as flour, potatoes, canned meats, cereals, and sugar, just to name a few items. Each box costs us approximately $30 to fill with needed groceries. Partner with us to provide the food to fill these boxes and sponsor the cost of a box.
Monthly Semi-Truck Filled with Produce
Once a month, we are able to obtain a semi-truck loaded with produce for $1000. The produce can range from potatoes, to melons, to onions; all much needed groceries. A truck load of food like this reaches hundreds of families. You can help purchase one of these semi-trucks loaded with food.
