- South County
Creative Living Center
- The CLC is a
"clubhouse", providing an alternative to costly, long-term institutional
care for adults who have difficulty living independently. It fosters
a sense of home, belonging and mutual support. Day classes are taught
by teachers from Fremont Adult School. The classes taught are self-esteem,
money management, job preparation classes, independent living skills,
nutrition and exercise. CLC meets on First Church grounds. The church
also gives donations to their program.
-
- Tri-City Volunteers
- A multi-emergency
center providing food, clothing, furniture and household items to
people in need. Each Sunday during the services, we collect food items
to be donated to their Food Bank. We also occasionally donate clothing.
Some items, such as canned fruit cups, go into box lunches prepared
for the homeless by a local church.
-
- Habitat for
Humanity
- As an expression
of God's love, the mission of East Bay Habitat is to create homeownership
opportunities by building decent, affordable housing and by enhancing
neighborhoods through partnerships with homeowners and the community.
Through our activities of prayer and financial and active support,
First Church has become a Covenant Congregation.
-
- Sunbridge
Nursing Home
- A nursing home
in Fremont for the elderly and persons recovering from injuries. First
Church provides a Worship Service for all residents the first Sunday
of each month. We also have a group of dedicated volunteers who offer
a very popular bingo game to the residents on Wednesday evenings.
-
- Tri-City Homeless
Coalition
- Provides to meet
the needs of the homeless population in the Tri-City area through
transitional shelter for families and singles, transitional housing
for families, mobile outreach to the homeless on the streets, and
help in finding and keeping jobs. First Church has responded to occasional
requests for assistance, such as providing back-to-school
backpacks for children living at the transitional shelter, and
motel vouchers.
