Bag Compassion
The Vineyard Columbus Free Food Pantries have made a special request to our congregation for personal care items. We are able to purchase food items through MidOhio Foodbank, but the personal care items are not purchased this way so we need these items from donations. Please purchase the following and drop them off in the large bins located near the church entrances:
Bar Soap, Deodorant, Toothpaste,Toothbrushes, Dental Picks, Razors, Shaving Cream, Combs/Hairbrushes,Toilet paper, Feminine Hygiene products, Baby diapers, Laundry soap

Use your skills and gifts to further the ministry of our Medical Clinics. We need administrative assistants, translators (Spanish, Somali, Creole), prayer ministry teams and healthcare providers for medical, dental and eye care. We are located at 171 East Fifth Avenue.
