Welcome to Ascension Meal Ministry!

Our mission is to extend a compassionate hand to those experiencing homelessness in the greater Oakland area by providing much-needed meals. We invite you to be a part of this heartfelt initiative.

Get Involved:

1. Volunteer: Join us for our coffee hour gatherings after church, typically held on the first Sunday of each month, to prepare over 100 bagged lunches. Stay connected to our weekly bulletin for updates.

2. Donate: Your financial support sustains our Meal Ministry. Just $1.50 can provide a meal for one person. Your generosity ensures that we can continue our mission of serving the community. Donate HERE.

3. What's in Our Bags: Our bagged lunches typically consist of PB&J sandwiches, granola bars, fresh fruit like Cuties oranges or apples, bottled water, and other essentials.

Expanding Our Impact:

We've partnered with Mission for the Homeless, a dedicated nonprofit organization committed to providing essential support to Oakland's homeless population.

In the Words of Matthew 25:35-36
