Our congregation gives a percentage of our income to missions.  We also have special projects during the Advent season. In the past, we collected toys, games and puzzles for "Superheroes Believe in Miracles" to send birthday bags to hospitalized children. We supported a backpack initiative, sending nutrition home for children on the weekends. We also collected monies to support victims of the Tree of Life incident.  On a regular basis, we donate non-perishable food items to the local Food Bank.

 
In addition to many places worldwide where Brethren are active with volunteer work or emergency assistance, the Church of the Brethren carries out mission projects in a number of countries. Some of these projects are the fruits of long relationships that span generations. Others are newer efforts in places where we have sensed God leading us today. In all cases, we work in mutual relationship with individuals and organizations in the local setting—seeking both to give and to learn.
