Each One Reach One

The Church of the Cross Food Bank is located at 15 Centre Drive in Bluffton (next door to God’s Goods Thrift Store) and serves more than 400 local families in need each week.

Over 50 active volunteers work together sorting donations, filling bags of groceries, and greeting Food Bank guests during two separate distribution times each Monday: from 12:30 to 2 p.m. and from 4:30 to 6 p.m.

The goal is to provide nutritious food for Food Bank guests but also to minister to them by sharing the Gospel and praying with them.

The Food Bank partners with Second Helpings and the Lowcountry Food Bank and also depends on donations to fill the growing need in our community. Donations can be dropped off at the Food Bank on Saturdays from 9 to 11 a.m. or on Mondays from 9 a.m. to noon; at any weekend church service; at the church offices in The Chapel on the Cross Schools campus; or at God’s Goods Thrift Store.

Once a month, the Food Bank hosts a “Fresh Xpress” event, offering a selection of fresh vegetables and fruits in a farmers market style. Traditional grocery items are handed out for Easter and Christmas. When available, the Food Bank also provides diapers, wipes and baby food to families.
There are many opportunities to serve within this ministry. It truly is a blessing to give and a blessing to those who receive. To join this ministry or to learn more about how you can assist with this outreach to the community, contact us below.

Get Involved with Our Ministries

One of the most important ways to get connected at The Church of the Cross is to first become a member of our congregation. If you are not a member and you are interested in learning more about membership, please call the Parish Office (843.757.2661) and speak to Sue.

Membership begins with an informal meeting with clergy. The next step in getting connected would be joining a Bible Study or small group to be in community with other Believers.

Pray

Want us to pray for someone in need? Submit a prayer request (with their permission) and your prayer will be communicated with our clergy, Church staff, and Intercessory Prayer Team volunteers.

The person will remain on the prayer list for four weeks or until the office is notified otherwise.

Give

Everything we own and everything we have comes from God. So, when we give, we simply offer him a small portion of the abundance he has already given to us.

Giving is an expression of our thankfulness and praise to God, and there are various ways to give at The Church of the Cross.
