Community Care
Community Care
In Matthew 25:35-36 Jesus says,
"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me."
One of our goals at The River Church and as Christians is to reflect the love and care of Jesus Christ. Below are some ways we are able to help love and care for our community.
Food Assistance
Food assistance is available to anyone in need. To apply for the first time or to resume food assistance, please come during regular hours of operation and we will assist you in completing the necessary application.
Food assistance is available from 9a-10a the second and fourth Saturday of every month. Receive food packages at the following locations:
The River Holly
8393 E. Holly Rd.
Holly, MI 48442

Clothing Assistance
The River Church is now partnering with Oakland Hope to help meet the needs of those in our communities. If you or someone you know is in need, email us directly and we will help you. All clothing inquires should be sent to Katrina at kyoung@theriverchurch.cc.
Our goal is to partner with local clothing closets in every community The River Church is a part of!
We currently have the following partner:
Oakland Hope | oaklandhope.org
20 Walton Blvd.
Pontiac, MI 48340
Jail & Prison Ministry
Jail and prison ministry has long been a passion of The River Church. In this current season we have been blessed with the opportunity to work alongside our friends from Reach the Forgotten Jail Ministry. They have given us the privilege to assist in discipling and leading Bible studies in local jails.

Addiction Recovery
Addiction affects most of us in one way or another; you may have a family member or friend who struggles, or maybe you struggle yourself. Every Tuesday at 7p, we gather together to learn about God’s Word and how, through Him, we have hope and can overcome addiction. We have tables available after the gathering for men and women to meet for prayer, accountability, and encouragement. You’ll have an opportunity to dig deeper into the Word of God and connect with leaders who will walk beside you on your journey.
