Community Resource Center - Your Bridge to God

Food Urgently Needed

Did you know that except for the Solano Food Bank itself, St. Mark's Manna Food Pantry distributes the most food to the less fortunate in our entire county! Each month Manna Food Pantry serves over 5,300 people. This is a staggering number to feed and we need your help. Right now we have a critical shortage of protein. Food items containing protein are needed. Canned meats and fish, hearty stews, chili, beans, lentils and peanut butter are all greatly appreciated. You can bring your food items to any worship service or drop it by the church office during office hours. Thank you very much!


The purpose of the Community Resource Center is to live out the call to be Christ to the world. What does that mean?  It means to meet people wherever they are. What does that mean?  To offer food if they need to be fed, to offer worship if they need a place to worship, to provide clothing if they need to be clothed, to offer spiritual food for those who are hungering for something more.  


The Community Resource Center seeks to live out the Jesus’ parable of the sheep and the goats: “when I was naked you clothed me, when I was hungry you fed me, when I was in prison you visited me.  When you did this to the least of these you did it to me."  When we meet people where they are at we meet Christ wherever Christ is, everywhere and in everyone.

How does the Community Resource Center build a bridge to God through meeting people where they are?

By providing a menu of services for people in need.

By providing a number of opportunities to volunteer.
