Mission & Outreach
On Campus
South Palo Alto Food Closet
Covenant houses and supports the South Palo Alto Food Closet, a neighborhood resource for families and individuals in need, in Room 9. First Sunday Food donations, Memorial gifts at Christmas and Easter, special needs offerings, and member volunteer helpers, have sustained this local mission for more than 40 years. Visit their website for more information.
Covenant Children's Center
The non-denominational Covenant Children’s Center has provided weekday care and preschool program for infants and children through kindergarten age in our Sunday School classrooms for 35 years. Visit their website for more information.
Local Community Outreach Programs
Covenant’s facilities are used regularly for community programs like the Scouts, 12-Step programs, i-Sing Silicon Valley, and for other service and cultural programs.
Here are some of the local and global organizations we are serving with our offerings and gifts
Opportunities for Involvement
Heart and Home
Every year beginning in December, Covenant houses the Heart and Home program clients for 6 weeks, providing food, laundry services, shelter at night and a warm community for 6-12 women who are served by this program. All of the needs are met utilizing volunteers, predominantly from Covenant for this period.
Alternative Gifts
Each December we provide an opportunity for those who are interested to give a donation to one of the many mission organizations we serve. Opportunities for involvement include learning more about these organizations, volunteering on site with them, or donating in exchange for cards to gift in honor or in memory of people on your gift list.
