GRACE MEDICAL HOME
As we read of the growing healthcare crisis, Grace Medical Home wants to close the gap between those who enjoy quality medical care and those who do not. The visionary leaders of Grace Medical Home sought to fill a void in our local healthcare system and developed a solution to remove the burden from the current healthcare community, including hospitals, ER’s, and urgent care clinics. A medical home is an approach to providing continuous, comprehensive primary care.

JOBS PARTNERSHIP
The Jobs Partnership of Florida, founded in 1999, uses a proven model of collaboration between churches, businesses, and community organizations to transform the lives of people who are chronically underemployed. They meet each person’s needs head-on: empowering, encouraging, and elevating the workplace attitudes and abilities of each participant. You can serve as a coach every week during the 12-week LifeWorks training or in other one-time volunteer roles.
Learn MoreRED BAG CAMPAIGN
Public schools in Seminole County identify children at risk due to family economics and designate their families as “Families in Transition.” These children receive breakfast and lunch at school during the week, but often have little food at home. The Red Bag Campaign addresses childhood hunger by providing food for children to take home over the weekend. Orangewood has adopted Hamilton Elementary in Sanford, Florida, and provides food for 35-40 families every week.
How you can help: You can pick up a red grocery bag at Orangewood on the first Sunday of every month, fill with groceries from the attached list, and bring it back to church the second week of the month.
ORLANDO CHILDREN’S CHURCH
Orlando Children’s Church (OCC) is dedicated to reaching at-risk students in the poorest areas of Central Florida through physical nourishment, spiritual renewal, and the cultivation of authentic relationships.
FAITH AND FINANCES
Faith and Finances is a 12-week course, offered twice a year, that helps the working poor in our community deal with personal financial money management in a biblical and practical way.
How you can help: Faith and Finances needs volunteers to serve as allies who show up to all the classes, get to know class participants, and encourage them as they take the class together. Volunteers are also needed to provide or buy dinner for each weekly class.
