Merced Good Works

Just in Time for Christmas.

Women of one of our Merced congregations completed 50 fleece blankets for local foster children in the CPS system.

Introducing Giving Machines!!

The Giving Machines are different from typical vending machines. Instead of buying a candy bar, you can purchase essential items such as clothing, medicine, food, even livestock, and more for local and global charities.

This giving machine in our area is one of only 61 giving machines worldwide.

If you find yourself near Sacramento between now and December 10th or Modesto from December 11th to January 2nd, stop by and check it out.

In Sacramento, your gift will directly benefit , South County Services, , and .

In Modesto, gifts can be given to , Boys and Girls Club of Stanislaus County, Food Initiative of Greater Stanislaus, and .

Hope to see you there!

“I’ve been coming to the vineyard with Ward and Stake friends, and with family for 65 years. I have precious memories of picking a whole row as a family, or spending a morning pruning alone with my sweet wife. Pictured is me with my father’s grape pan and my wife’s grape knife, along with my son Spencer, and brothers Steve and Matt in the next photos.”
