Heart of Service
We were also incredibly grateful to recently be recognized with the Heart of Service Award in Gilbert. The award recognizes those whose commitment to service has made a meaningful impact in our community.
This recognition belongs to the many volunteers, donors, parishioners and supporters who make this ministry possible.
Every food box packed, every donation received, every truck unloaded, and every hour volunteered allows us to continue serving our neighbors with the love of Christ. Thank you for being part of this ministry.
