Throughout the year, we collect items, sort them, and deliver to people in need.
January and August
We host the Red Cross twice a year for a blood drive. Individuals in good health that are 16 years and older are eligible to donate blood. Appointments are made directly at redcrossblood.org and use sponsor code: Johnny Cake Churches, or call the Red Cross at 800.733.2767. SOTV recruits volunteers to check-in donors and serve snacks in the canteen.

July/August
All funds raised benefit neighborhood students.
Every year SOTV partners with schools and organizations to provide school supplies for students. This partnership has made a huge difference for children and families in our community.

We collect gently used winter outerwear and new mittens/hats, and distribute approximately 1,800 items to area children and families in need.

October/November
We provide gifts for families or provide financial support to share the Christmas spirit. Some of the ministries previously supported include: Tanzania Partnership, Wingspan Life Resources, Southside Family Nurturing Center, Dakota Woodlands, Armful of Love, and Lutheran Social Services Homeless Youth Ministry. We generally raise $20,000 – $30,000 each year in gifts and monetary donations.
