Safe Embrace

Safe Embrace was organized to focus on the special needs of women who were victims of domestic violence. The shelter accepts women and their children up to the age of 17 years.

Habitat for Humanity Project Leader – John Williamson

Our congregation works with the local Habitat for Humanity project to complete 13 homes in the Reno-Sparks area. Volunteers spend half-a-day on the building site assisting in various construction tasks.

Adopt a Park – Project Leader – Joyce Patterson

Outreach has identified an opportunity for members of congregation to come together to help our community. Our city needs volunteers to help keep parks clean, attractive and safe for everyone. We have adopted the Northwest Park, 2775 Apollo Way. (The park on King's Row behind Clayton Middle School.) Everyone can participate, but children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
