2018 Fall Rally - CHARITY

[gmstrom]

The Goshen rally has supported Church Community Services (CCS) for several years. CCS was created 50 years ago by a caring collaboration of area churches to serve the immediate needs of the Elkhart area with food and financial challenges. Today, that mission continues along with the expanding mission of helping families break the cycle of poverty through intensive training and counseling. Their website is www.churchcommunityservices.org if you would like to learn more about all of their outreach programs.
