Meetings are Thursdays at 6:00 PM

CARITAS

CARITAS stands for “Congregations Around Richmond Involved To Assure Shelter!”  It is a community-based organization enabling member congregations to provide shelter, meals, and hospitality to homeless people in the Richmond metropolitan area.  First Baptist hosts CARITAS twice per year and is a great opportunity to serve on mission in our own community.
