Thank you from the 2020 Silicon Valley Safe Parking Ministry Team and guests to all those who volunteered to help make Safe Parking such a success over the last two months. We would like to acknowledge and thank the following people, some of whom volunteered multiple times and/or in more than one capacity:
Hello Team FCCSJ and Friends,
Are you currently living in your vehicle? Do you or someone you know need a safe parking space?
‘Tis the Season to give to the less fortunate in our community!
Our next Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley project, sponsored by Brad Cox Architect, Inc., is scheduled for Saturday, October 27, 2018! Bring your hearts and your energy and volunteer for this worthwhile event. Rebuilding Together brings communities and volunteers together to rehabilitate the homes of low income homeowners, particularly the elderly and disabled, so that they may live in warmth, safety, and independence. Past projects have not only brought joy and happiness to the homeowner but have also left our volunteers with a sense of accomplishment and feelings of gratification knowing that they have helped someone who is truly in need. Go to Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley to register by October 6th (the registration page will say Brad Cox, Architects)!
Our church provides 4-7 volunteers the second Wednesday afternoon each month to help Second Harvest Food Bank distribute food to low income families with children. Second Harvest brings a truckload of groceries to Campbell United Methodist Church, and we help from 1:30-4:30 p.m. handing out the food to families. We would be glad to have you join us in this contribution to our wider community. Upcoming events are October 10, November 14 and December 12. Please contact Judy Stevens: if you are interested.
On this year, Monday, November 20, 2017, we as a community recognize Transgender Remembrance Day.
Help Second Harvest distribute food to those in need the second Wednesday of every month at Campbell United Methodist Church. Contact Judy Stevens to volunteer one time or to help regularly.

The Community Services Ministry Team is once again supporting STAR House (St. Andrew’s Residential Programs) Foster Care in bringing Christmas joy to the youth in their care. We will be donating Christmas gift bags, each filled with a gift card and miscellaneous Christmas “stocking stuffers.” Empty bags may be picked up on Sunday, November 30, and returned either of the following Sundays, December 7th or 14th. Thanks for your support in helping foster youth have a happy holiday!
