Food for Life Community Meal

September through June, join us every Wednesday for a homemade nutritious meal and a community of people who care for one another.  Dinner is served at 6pm.
Our community meal is on break in July and August, and we look forward to seeing you in September.

We all want to make a difference

Serving others brings meaning and connection to our lives.  Our volunteers are incredible people from our city  who want to make Richmond a better place to live.  
Serve with us

Houseless Outreach in Richmond

Six nights a week, hot meals are delivered to 70-80 houseless individuals who are part of our Richmond community, as well as meeting other essential needs and offering a consistent presence.  This amazing work is done by Richmond's outreach caseworker, Hugh Freiberg.

  • Advocate for affordable housing
  • Give towards supporting this work at Church on Five by designating towards "Food Aid Delivery"

Richmond Food Bank Depot

Are you in need of food assistance? The Richmond Food Bank will be offering an off-site depot from 4:30PM-5:30PM on Wednesdays at our church.  To access these services, please bring identification in order to register.

Refugee Resettlement

With the displacement of Afghani's and Ukrainians, the need for refugee sponsorship is great, and as Christians, we care for the stranger and extend radical hospitality.  As we welcome and care for a refugee family, there are many different opportunities to serve, including hands-on with the family and behind-the-scenes.
I want to get involved

Benevolence

The Bible tells us that the church is a new family that sacrifices and cares for one another.  In meeting each others needs, we know the love and provision of God and his people.  If there is a tangible way that we can help you with a necessity, which could include assistance with an essential bill, food resources, or assistance with the cost of counseling, please contact us below.
