Christmas Eve Offering Recipients:
We give away our entire Christmas Eve offering every year. This year, you can support one or both of these worthy organizations. Interchange Food Pantry, a food pantry that First Church founded in 1971 along with a group of neighboring churches, is committed to helping provide healthy food to low-income residents of Milwaukee in a compassionate and supportive environment. MacCanon Brown Homeless Sanctuary is a daytime sanctuary and multi-resource center for homeless and at-risk individuals. It is a place to be and belong that offers hope to those who struggle for resources in Milwaukee’s overwhelmed safety net.
