Matthew 7:12

WHAT IS RIPON INTER-FAITH MINISTRIES?

The churches in Ripon, representing our community, have agreed to bond together so as to more effectively serve those who are in need. It is to the glory of God that we join together as the body of Christ to serve.

WHAT SERVICES ARE OFFERED THROUGH RI-FM?

Distribution of food to the hungry
Clothing is given to the needy Emergency aid to distressed families (i.e., burned homes)
Referral services to help in situations not covered by RI-FM
Thanksgiving and Christmas Food Baskets are given out during the holiday seasons

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

Volunteers are a tremendous help to our staff in food distribution and sorting, sizing clothes and interviewing applicants. A few hours of volunteer time each month is a most generous gift A cash contribution monthly is appreciated to cover the expenses of food and sundries (since the workers aren't paid, your donations go ENTIRELY to the needy!) We have meetings the first Tuesday of each month. Come join us to help solve our community's needs!
