Feed the Bay The last Sunday of March each year is Feed the Bay! Over thirty area churches come together to go shopping after church at local Publix and SweetBay stores and all the food collected is taken to community food banks.

The Greater Brandon "Gift of Hope". By joining together with other Brandon-area churches, we have the opportunity to work alongside Christ-followers from various churches and ministries as we provide food, gifts, spiritual support, and much prayer, to the needy in our community. During November, families are provided food for a Thanksgiving meal; during December, families are provided food and gifts for children under age 18. At both holidays, families are encouraged to visit the prayer chapel and get connected with local churches and ministries for ongoing spiritual support.
