FIND OUT MORE COMPASSION MINISTRY Our Compassion Ministry was created out of a belief that Jesus has directly called his followers to love and care for individuals in need. The Compassion Ministry seeks to provide ongoing outreach opportunities for the people of Maranatha to participate in so that they can be the hands and feet of Jesus to these individuals. Through this ministry, we are given opportunities as the body to step out in faith into uncomfortable spaces and be obedient to Christ's commands. MONTHLY OUTREACHES Each month, we extend care and support to individuals in need throughout the Central Ohio area by serving meals and distributing essential items, including hygiene kits, food bags, and necessities such as socks. Donations are accepted year-round to support these efforts. FIND UPCOMING DATES SHOP WISH LIST DONATION LIST FOUNDATION DINNERS On the third Saturday of every other month, we serve at a local soup kitchen in Lancaster from 3:30 to 5:00 PM.

FIND UPCOMING DATES MORE INFO SOUTHSIDE BLESSING BOX Maranatha Southside is passionate about serving and loving their local community in tangible ways. One simple way we do this is through our Blessing Box—a resource available to anyone in need. We invite you to join us in keeping it stocked. While there’s no specific list, we are always collecting non-perishable food items such as soups, spaghetti, pasta sauce, cup noodles, individual mac and cheese, canned vegetables, tuna, canned chicken, and similar items. Items can be dropped off at any church location in the Compassion Donation bins. T his is a small act that can make a meaningful difference. As we give, we reflect the generosity of Christ and care for our neighbors right here in Southside. QUESTIONS? CARE PORTAL We partner with CarePortal, a ministry of the Global Orphan Project , to serve vulnerable families right here in our local community—including Pickerington and Canal Winchester. CarePortal is a platform that connects churches with real-time, local needs submitted by child welfare agencies and community organizations. These needs often come from families who are on the brink of crisis—such as a single mother in need of a bed to keep her child at home, or a grandparent needing assistance with utility bills while caring for grandchildren. When a request is submitted, it's shared with local churches who can choose to respond and meet the need. When someone from Maranatha responds to a physical need, we have the opportunity to deliver the item ourselves—creating a chance for personal connection and ministry. Ways You Can Get Involved: 1. Become a Responder Sign up to receive email notifications about current needs in our area. There are only a few requests each week, and there's no pressure to respond if you're unable. When you're able to help—whether by donating an item, giving financially, or referring someone who can—you simply click "I Can Help." If it’s a physical need, we’ll coordinate the details with you. 2. Become a Connector Help deliver donated items and build relationships with the families we serve. From time to time, we may need volunteers with a truck to help transport larger items. 3. Do Both! Many of our volunteers choose to serve as both Responders and Connectors, helping to meet needs and make meaningful connections in our community.
