Local Outreach Opportunities
Last Saturday - http://www.westridge.com/outreach/
This is a simple, once-a-month opportunity for you, your family or your Journey Group to serve people in our community. We’ll provide the team leader and give you the necessary on-the-job training to make an immediate impact.
Breakaway - http://www.westridge.com/outreach/
Our team of volunteers provides a cost free break for parents of special needs children. We care for the kids so their parents can have some free time to themselves.
Warehouse of Hope - http://www.warehouseofhope.org/
A benevolence ministry based in Hiram, Georgia that provides food and clothing to the poor.
A Fresh Hope - http://www.afreshhope.com/
A Fresh Hope foundation provides back packs, clothing, school supplies and toiletries to needy children in Cobb & Paulding Counties. The foundation works with local churches, schools and organizations to assist the children. The foundation will collect new back packs, clothes, school supplies, toiletries and financial contributions.
Blue Skies - http://www.blueskiesministries.org/
Blue Skies Ministries was launched to bring the hope of Christ to families living through pediatric cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Our vision is to lift families above the clouds and help them “retreat” from life’s storms. Blue Skies offers retreats to help families heal and find hope. Ten to twelve families join us at the beach or the mountains for a retreat where they get to play, laugh, and reconnect as a family. There is no cost to them to attend beyond their transportation to and from the retreat. Volunteers help care for the families and not only give their time but also raise financial support to help cover their costs to attend.

Gallery Church will be hosting their 4th annual ” City Uprising Baltimore”. We at West Ridge are anticipating the opportunity to unite and be a part of a city wide movement throughout Baltimore to love and serve the city as a team. There will be three focused areas of serving during the day, the local schools, parks, and HIV testing, and each evening we will be a part of a worship gathering. Our desire is to tangibly be the hands and feet of Jesus to a city that needs to hear the hope, truth and love of Christ. Join us in “Charm City” for an experience you will never regret!
Join us in ministering to our church partners just outside of Havana. We help our Cuban brothers and sisters in a variety of physical ways, work alongside them to serve their communities and assist and train them with ministry strategies.
