Grub-n-Go at City Gospel Mission
Details
God has opened a door of opportunity for us to partner with City Gospel Mission, experts in comforting those in need for over 100 years. Our Grub 'n Go events will now take place at City Gospel Mission, 1805 Dalton Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45214.
Volunteers will continue to cook, serve, and connect with those we serve as we have done at our Grub 'n Go events for years. Just like City Gospel Mission, we offer a taste of grace to those we serve, serving up kindness, mercy, and grace. A prayer, warm drink, free meal, and other necessities are such small things, but offer hope, joy, and so much more!
