Latest Update on SBCC’s LA Fires Response
THANK YOU
Thank you, Church Family, for your overwhelming response to our call to ACTSion (action)! Many of you have donated your time, energies, goods, vehicles, and finances to help the victims of this terrible disaster that has ripped through our communities. We had received truckloads of donated goods that were collected, sorted, and organized by our volunteers here in our church lobby. Then, the goods were transported to Living Way Community Church in Pasadena, who have been operating as a distribution center for those directly affected by the fires, offering not only essential goods (water, food, hygiene, clothes, etc.) and disaster assistance to hurting and displaced families, but also spiritual support through prayers of hope and encouragement. Your financial donations are also being sent to LivingWay and other organizations to help them minister in their longer-term care and recovery/rebuild efforts.

Mission Interest
If you'd like to serve with us in the LA Fire Relief efforts long term, please let us know. We are praying through different ways we can support other churches and those who have been affected by the fires in a long term capacity, and hope to send teams for fire relief once our partner organizations begin receiving teams.
