This compilation of $576,000 only includes monies that passed through our accounting system in the last four years. There are many other activities where goods are brought to the church in form of food, blankets, Christmas gifts for children and adults, etc. that are not included in the following summary. In addition, the amount of volunteer contribution in time and talent is not monetized but has great value to those we serve.

In addition we awarded $10,000 to two winners ($5,000 each) of the Robert Fries memorial which totals $100,000. This will be an annual event over the years to come for the students of HOA1 and HOA2 to assist in their education.

The agencies that were gifted are as follows: Adopt a Senior; American Missionary Fellowship; Blankets; Central Asia Institute; Christmas Child; Direct Relieve International; Family Diaper Bank; Family First Pregnancy Care Center; Feeding America United Food Bank; FINCA International; Fisher House Foundation, Inc.; Gilgal Gospel Missions; Good News Jail and Prison Ministry – Pinal; Gospel Rescue Mission; Habitat for Humanity Tucson; Habitat for Humanity – Tool Kits; Hayden Senior Center; In-Faith; Mammoth Christian Youth Center; Matthew 25 Ministries; Operation Christmas Child; Oracle Layette; Our Family Services – New Beginnings; Salvation Army Tucson Amphi; Seed and Light International; Teen Challenge of Arizona – Home of Hope; Teens Sew Cool; Tri-Community Food Bank, Inc.; Wounded Warrior Project; Wycliffe Bible Translators; Young Life Tucson Capernaum; Youth on Their Own; Tucson Centers Women Children (Emerge!)
